However, this story had a happy ending with the person passing at the 37th attempt.<\/p>\n<p>With the practical test costing \u00c2\u00a362 a time on weekdays or \u00c2\u00a375 for an evening, weekend or bank holiday appointment, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s estimated that the unnamed 40 year-old-spent approximately \u00c2\u00a32,294 in a desperate bid to pass, which let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face it, could have paid for a decent second hand motor.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement from an AA Driving School spokesperson, they said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is an unusually high number of test attempts, but it is important to remember that everyone learns at their own pace. Their determination to pass highlights how important learning to drive is to most people. It is a milestone that many people aspire to achieving because of the freedom and independence it brings.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>BookTheoryTestToday.com said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Holding such records is obviously something people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want publicised and have rightly remained anonymous to stave off public humiliation and embarrassment.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>BookTheoryTestToday.com continued: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153One of the advantages of our service, compared with booking directly with the DVLA, is that we offer free resits for customers who fail the UK Driving Theory Test.
