Exercise 2

On my first driving test, I ran out of petrol.Shortly after the restart, the car stopped again although I didnt brake.I tried  five times to restart it. 'No', I said to the driving examiner. 'It wont start'. The examiner moved into the driving seat and I pushed the car to the nearest service station, where I  stopped for the petrol. 'This is not your fault and will not affect whether you pass the test,' he said, but I felt terrified,and was not surprised to fail for lack of observation.
