Luke Littler hits the wire after failing driving theory test for fourth time
Littler revealed he had failed his theory test – a requirement before anyone can take a practical exam – for a fourth time on Wednesday.
A post shared by McLaren (@mclaren)
He scored 45 out of 50 on the multiple choice section, which was enough to pass, but only scored 41 out of 75 on the hazard perception, two short of the required mark.
He posted a picture of his exam report on his Instagram story, with the caption '4th time and counting' accompanied by a 'green feeling unwell' emoji.
Littler, who was a World Championship finalist before he was even old enough to take driving lessons, will have to quickly put his disappointment behind him as he prepares for the World Matchplay, which starts in Blackpool this weekend.
Littler, chasing the title for the first time, takes on Ryan Searle in the first round on Sunday.
