A 62 year old woman has finally passed her driving test, 27 years after her first lesson. Teresa Clarke went through 20 driving instructors spent £15,000 in fees and had 450 hours of tuition.

She also failed 12 tests, cancelled a further 35 and had 50 mock exams. Teresa puts her success down to an improved focus and said, “It took a long time for it to sink in when I was told I had passed. I’ve been through a lot of driving instructors because some of them kicked me out, but I was determined to pass and kept going.
