Student Gareth Purslow, 20, hit a Ford Puma as it pulled out from a parking bay.He continued the test with a dent in the side of his instructor's Renault Clio at High Wycombe, Bucks, but feared the worst.

Delighted Gareth said: "I couldn't believe it when I got the pass slip back at the test centre. When the crash happened I thought, 'That's it', but my examiner let me carry on." And at the end of his hour-long ordeal, he hadn't a fault on the marking sheet and got his licence at the first attempt.

Gareth said: "The examiner sorted everything out after the collision. I was so nervous my legs were shaking."

There's no justice! I only hit the one bus queue and they failed me!

While we're here I'll ask you some questions on the highway code.
