Popular Soccer AM presenter Tubes has been challenged by Vauxhall, the lead Home Nations Teams sponsor, to pass his driving test before UEFA Euro 2016 kicks off in June next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tubes, who is 33 and hasn\u2019t yet learnt to drive, has started driving lessons with RED in an attempt to pass his test in time to follow the Home Nations that qualify for the European Championship in France \u2013 and to prove to all his fans that he can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite a driving instructor walking out on his lessons when he was 17, \u2018shaking and telling him that he will not be able to teach him moving forward since he is moving abroad\u2019 (which was a lie), he is determined to get back on the road to show he\u2019s got what it takes to be a perfect driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tubes\u2019 progress with expert RED Instructor, Jean-Pierre, will be tracked and shown in a monthly YouTube series called \u2018TEST TUBES\u2019 on VauxhallFootballTV, which can be watched here<\/a> or on the blog section of the RED site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presenter won\u2019t be facing the challenge alone, however, and will be given guidance along the way by various famous footballers. Former Liverpool and England winger John Barnes offers his \u2018advice\u2019 in episode one<\/a>,which documentsTubes\u2019 first lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tubes says: \u2018At 33 I really should be able to drive\u2026I had a few lessons when I was a teenager, but didn\u2019t carry it on. The dream would be to pass my test so that I can follow the Home Nations in France next summer. They say that it gets harder to learn when you get older, but I am going out to prove that idea wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tubes will be learning in the brand new Vauxhall Corsa, and Vauxhall are also giving one lucky supporter across the four Home Nations the chance to drive away in one of the cars. Read how to enter here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
