DO you feel bad about not passing the theory part of your driving test on the first attempt? Don"t worry, a 28-year-old woman from south east London had to take the theory test 110 times new figures released under a Freedom of Information request to the UK"s Driving Standards Agency (DSA) reveal, Metro reported.

That means the woman paid the UK govement agency £3,410 ($6,220) to take the multiple choice theory test and still has her practical to pass.

The figures showed that a 30-year-old man from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, failed the theory 86 times and a 41-year-old man from Birmingham took 80 attempts before getting it right.

A 27-year-old man has still not managed to get enough answers right after 64 attempts.

Taking the practical part of the test proved not so difficult.

A 40-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, holds the record for failures on the road. He passed it on the 37th attempt.

COMMENT BELOW: Have you had a driving test shocker?

"It is essential that all drivers demonstrate they have the right skills, knowledge and attitude to drive safely,” a DSA spokesman said.

"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.”
