Do you know Mr Red, my husband failed his first driving test due to being 'overly cautious'. His instructor was furious. I'm no expert, but there's a vast difference between 'hesitant' and 'prudent'.

His second test was a great success, no faults whatsoever and praise from the examiner.
When he got out of the car at the end of the test, he did a lovely African dance of triumph in front of everybody. And I joined in too. We must have looked right dollies, but we didn't care!
