The Driving Examiner supervised Sally Webster's driving test in August 1989. Sally had only been taking lessons for a few weeks but went for a test slot which became vacant after a cancellation. She nearly didn't make it to the test centre in time as the car she learned in, belonging to Mark Casey, broke down on the way there, forcing Audrey Roberts to volunteer the use of Alf's Volvo instead. As they didn't have time to inform Alf, he assumed the car had been stolen and called the police. Despite the histrionics, Sally kept a cool head behind the wheel and passed the test.
