Heard the one about the learner driver who passed his theory test at the 158th attempt? It’s actually true and the joke was on him because, at £23 a pop, it cost him £3,634 in tests alone. Then there was the driver who took 43 attempts to pass his practical test. That will have cost him £2,666 in tests. Just goes to show: taking and failing your driving test is an expensive business.
