London, Mar 17 (ANI): A woman in Britain has failed her driving theory test 90 times, and it has cost her a staggering 2,790 pounds even before she has gone through with the practical test.
The Driving Standards Agency revealed the figures after a Freedom of Information request to find the worst drivers in the UK.
The 26-year-old woman, who is from Southwark in south London, last sat her theory test in November 2010, but failed again at her 90th attempt - a UK record.
The driving theory test cost 31 pounds to sit and is a multiple choice exam in which a wannabe driver has to get 43 or more questions out of 50 correct within 57 minutes before taking to the road for their practical test.
The figures also revealed that the person who has sat the most number of practical tests in the UK is a 39-year-old man from the West Midlands.
He failed the last test - his 36th - just four months ago after sitting it in the Stoke-on-Trent area.
"Both of these drivers are currently the worst on record in the UK," the Daily Mail quoted a source as saying.
"The woman has tried and failed to pass her theory test 90 times and has still not managed it, and the man in the Midlands seems to have no problem with the theory side of the exam, he just can't pass his practical test," the source added.
The Guinness World Record for the most practical driving tests ever taken is held by Git Kaur Randhawa, of Hayes, Middlesex, who finally triumphed at her 48th attempt after more than 330 lessons in 1987 just weeks before her 50th birthday.
The world record for the number of theory tests taken is held by a South Korean woman called Cha Sa-soon, who passed at her 950th attempt in November 2009. (ANI)
