Britain's worst learner driver? Woman fails driving theory test a record 110 times

A woman who is from south-east London failed driving theory test a record 110 times.

However, according to DVSA, she’s not the only one who failed repeatedly in the driving theory test.

Others include a 30-year-old man from Peterborough with 86 failures under his belt. Birmingham’s 41-year-old learner managed to pass after 79 unsuccessful attempts but a 27-year-old man from Haverford west, Pembrokeshire, has still trying to get enough answers right after 64 attempts.

Learner drivers need to pass the driving theory test before they can book practical exam which is itself hard to get through.

The theory test exam consists of two parts - multiple choice questions and hazard perception section.

These figures were published on the Mail Online following a Freedom of Information request to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

A DVSA spokesman said: "It is essential that all drivers demonstrate they have the right skills, knowledge and attitude to drive safely. The driver testing and training regime tests candidates' ability to drive safely and responsibly as well as making sure they know the theory behind safe driving."
