Driving ambition: Ray gears up for lucky 13th test

A man who failed his driving test 12 times is not a lost cause, an instructor with Ireland’s top driving school said yesterday.

But Irish School of Motoring instructor Eric Wharton said Ray Heffernan must change several driving habits if he is to succeed on his 13th attempt.

“He’s not the worst driver I’ve ever seen,” Mr Wharton said.
