He also named his former Welsh team-mate Joey Jones as the worst driver he\u2019s ever come across. Ratcliffe said: \u201cHe was mad as a hatter on the field, but wouldn\u2019t even let you eat in his car. He was so safety minded!\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XvKJW0mYnJY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>With the guidance of RED Driving School instructor Jean-Pierre, Tubes completed the controlled stop on his fist attempt. Jean-Pierre described the lesson as \u2018excellent\u2019 and Ratcliffe felt it \u2018wasn\u2019t bad\u2019, though admitted he was petrified during the lesson!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tubes is still hoping to pass his driving test so that he can follow the home nations at next summer\u2019s European Championship in France, which begins in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With one lesson a month, Tubes\u2019 fifth lessons will be posted across our social media pages in four weeks\u2019 time, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to subscribe to\u00a0<a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Vauxhall
