QUIRKY WORLD... Driver passes her test at 24th attempt

The 24-year-old woman, whose identity has not been revealed, secured her status as Britain’s most persistent learner driver when she finally ditched her L-plates at a test centre in Chippenham last year.
The woman was one of eight Britons to have racked up at least 20 tests by the end of 2013, according to figures obtained from the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency by the Press Association. The data, provided under Freedom of Information laws, stated that 10 drivers amassed a total of 200 fails between them before passing. Of them, four were male drivers and six were women.
