Things I Am Not Allowed To Do While Learning To Drive

  • Do my impersonation of "Q" and 007 discussing ejector seats while the instructor is in the car within earshot.
  • Have a bumper sticker on the back of the car that reads,
        The Car In Front Is A
        Crumple Zone
    
  • Have any music playing in the vehicle, including but not limited to:
    • "Back to the Future"
    • "The Race" by Yello
    • "I'm Not Driving Anymore" by Rob Dougan
    • Anything from the Jason Bourne films.
  • Wear my navy jumper with epaulettes in an effort to intimidate the other drivers.
  • Start discussing advisory locking, critical sections and race hazards whilst proceeding through junctions at speed.
  • Discuss interesting consequences of Newtonian physics of any kind.
  • Leave an upside-down blue pint-glass conspicuously on the dashboard.
  • Keep cannisters of caltrops in the glove-compartment.
  • Install radar emitters configured to generate continuous pulses to screw up speed guns.
(No, I'm not currently learning to drive.)
