Possibly on the wrong forum but: the other day, on a dual carriageway, I passed what was obviously the learner driver driving a fully marked 'professional' driving school car and I was surprised to see that the driver was wearing his 'hoody', with it pulled up over his head.

It was one of these loose fitting hoods such that if the wearer turns his/her head, the hood stays still and the wearer effectively looks onto the hood. Do driving instructors allow this, what can the driver see if he/she carries out a shoulder check? Can you pass the test wearing a hoody in that way? Or is it 'human rights'?

When I see a ‘school car’ with just the instructor in it, there seems a wide range of competencies.
How do you know it's the instructor driving? I was tailgated down the motorway the other day by a car displaying the roof box & logo of an independent driving school. Can't remember the name exactly but was along the lines of 'Beryl's School of Motoring'. When it finally passed I don't think the fat bloke driving was Beryl wink
nononononono You're not even allowed to think that these days, let alone say it.


Anyway, it might well have been Beryl biggrin
