A woman who "catastrophically failed" her driving test with three majors travelled to the location with the country's highest pass rate - and got her licence. Emma Cannon, 22, thought she would "never pass" her test after going over the speed limit and breaking down in tears during her first attempt in her hometown of Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Not wanting to relive the trauma of her first go, Emma otherwise known as Elkie, went online to research the place in the UK with the highest pass rate - Dorchester, Dorset. She booked her test in Dorchester through the test cancellation app - thinking she would have the best chance of success there - and drove down with her mum to stay the night before.
Elkie was "over-the-moon" to pass with just one minor and urges other learner drivers to think about the location of their test centre when booking to give themselves the best chance of passing. Elkie, a singer, said: "I started driving in April 2022 and I had my first test booked in my local area in Chippenham for the end of October.
