The Essex based instructor divulged all to the Sun.

Currey said: “We did the lesson in his BMW. I felt totally safe even though I didn’t have my foot controls.

“He had failed his test before on a traffic-light fault. I am not sure if it was for running an amber. Maybe he didn’t stop.

“Or it could have been how he was positioned at the lights. When he failed he was a bit like, ‘What the hell?’.

“I mean, he has been driving since a kid. But he was so polite and just wanted to learn how to pass.

“He asked a lot of questions and seemed very down-to-earth, a great lad."

“I would say, keep going to absolute legend. But if I see him back home then I don’t want to do any racing with him.

“I don’t want a burn out at the red lights in the village.”
