Guy,
I guess my examiner in High Wycombe, April, 1966 didn't follow that
rule exactly... ;-)
He did, in fact, ride pillion on my 250 Tiger Cub for part of the
test. I thought that was standard as several of my buddies had the
same examiner and the same experience. And wasn't it the Ministry of
Transport back then? I seem to remember you had to have an MoT
sticker on your vehicle too. Things change, I guess.
