Its not just Australian drivers who appear to have the inability to grasp the road rules.... maybe this girl should just give up? or just be told not to bother?

Woman fails theory test – 90 times!
Written on October 19, 2011 in Driving

A 26- year old woman has created a UK record by failing her driving theory test ninety times. The woman,from Southwark in South London, has spent an incredible £2790 so far and is still yet to pass her test.

The Driving Standards Agency revealed the figures when they were asked for details related to poor driving. They also revealed that currently the person who has failed the most practical driving tests is a 39- year old man from the West Midlands who has been unsuccessful on 36 occasions, which is still short of the UK record which is held by a Mrs Git Kaur Randhawa of Middlesex, who passed her practical driving test on the 48th attempt in 1987.

The driving theory test is often perceived as easy. Whether this is because its multiple choice,or because people think they know more than they actually do, it has in the past tripped people up who have arrived for their test under prepared.

Recent changes to the theory test mean that candidates are unable to access any of the actual questions used in the test, so a good understanding of the highway code is essential if you are going to be successful.

You also need to practice heavily for the hazard perception test. The main reason people fail this part of the test is lack of concentration. The best way to practice is to buy a cd-rom such as ‘driving test success‘ and sit mock tests so that you are used to concentrating for the right length of time.

The way to avoid failure, once or ninety times, is not to underestimate the theory test, prepare well, don’t book your test until you’re scoring 48 out of 50 on the theory and 60-65 out of 75 for the hazard perception, that way even if you have a test day ‘wobble’ you should still be ok.

Best of luck!
