GDPR - Taking off the "L" plates

Think of May 25th as if it was the day you took your driving test; you've done the preparation (hopefully), you've crammed all the stopping distances and how to reverse around a corner, even though you think you'll never need to do it.
Then the day comes. You survive. You hit the open road.
And that's when you realise you are constantly learning for the first few years. You have to negotiate motorways, traffic jams, you have the odd bump (heaven forbid), you scrape a few gate posts.
But then 5 years on, you realise you have got to the stage of driving on autopilot. Unconscious competence.
Ok, so every so often you make a mistake, you get done for speeding, or you get a parking fine, your mother in law complains about your recklessness and tries to grab the wheel. But your learn from it, self correct and carry on driving.
The days of nervous driving are far behind you. The day you took your test is almost nostalgic. Driving is now something you just do every day. Enjoy the journey! #GDPR #ItsAJourney
