British woman fails driving test for 105th time
London, Nov 6 (ANI)
A woman from Britain, believed to be the country's most incompetent motorist to date, has managed to fail her driving theory test 105 times.
With the theory test costing 31 pounds, the woman from Essex has spent more than 3,000 pounds so far - enough to buy a respectable second hand car, such as a 2005 Nissan Micra with 38,000 miles on the clock, according to data supplied by the Driving Standards Agency.
Her latest unfortunate tilt at the exam took place at Ilford, unfortunately the result was the same as the previous 104 attempts, the Telegraph reported.
No other candidate has come near, though a man in Peterborough, Cambs is giving it his best shot with 84 attempts so far.
The theory exam, which must be passed before a candidate is allowed to take the practical exam, entails answering 50 multiple choice questions - with 43 correct answers required.
Candidates also have to take a hazard perception test, where 44 out of 75 questions have to be answered correctly.
The woman's plight staggered motoring groups.
"It is absolutely unbelievable,it must have cost her a fortune," Andrew Howard, the AA's head of road safety said.
"There are people who are not very good tests, people who are nervous and some just don't prepare adequately.
"Cases like this raise the question that there are some people who just can't pass a theory test," he added.
