Transport chiefs crash and burn in drive test

JUNIOR Transport Minister Ivor Callely yesterday blamed use of his State car for flunking his driving test.

“I might be a bit rusty,” he admitted on Dublin radio station Newstalk after getting the thumbs down.

Mr Callely drove too close to stationary vehicles and on an occasion was “far too close to a cyclist for comfort,” according to advanced driving instructor Paddy Pryle.
