38 year old model and presenter Lisa Snowden has passed her driving test first time with only 3 minor faults! The former presenter of The Big Breakfast and Britain’s Next Top Model was said to be ‘so happy’ but claimed to be ‘really nervous during the test.’
Lisa’s task now is to buy herself a car to show off her top quality driving skills. Apparently her car of choice would be a Range Rover although she says she may probably go for something more environmentally friendly.
Lisa's driving instructor has also taught such celebrity students as Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Alexander McQueen...wowzers!

Do you get road rage?
According to recent research published by the Institue of Advanced Motorists (IAM), seven in 10 drivers get angry with other road users and almost a third of these drivers admit that their anger makes their is detrimental to their driving.
Of the 1,497 respondents carried out by motoring charity IAM, 70% claimed that they got angry with other road users. 28% of these felt that getting road rage behind the wheel affected their own driving competence.
Tailgating, other drivers taking a call while driving and centre lane hogging were cited as being the biggest sources of annoyance. Other distractions included passengers, billboards and advertising, watching out for safety cameras (a little ironic!), mobile phones, in car entertainment and sat navs.
Advice for drivers who feel they are reaching boiling point is to pull over and separate themselves from the cause of anger rather reacting with a gesture or aggressive driving. If you are the subject of road rage, the IAM advises you to pull over to a safe, public place or apologise for mistakes by just giving a polite wave. If you're looking for a used car, there's no need for road rage...visit The Car Shop used car supermarkets across the UK.

How much should you pay for a service?
For the first time ever, this year I decided not to give my car a service. It had only done 5,000 miles in the year so I did a bit of basic car maintenance myself and opted not to give it a service. Was this a good idea, probably not. Apparently it will ruin my otherwise perfect service history and also could knock a bit off the resale value of my car.
Think my last service cost in the region of £200, but have just seen this offer with Birchwood Ford for a cheap servicing deal costing just £99! Got me thinking, just how much should you pay for a service?
