A man was arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent (TWOC) at the test center in Birdbrook Road, Great Barr.
West Midlands Police said the man had failed his test for the 10th time.
The force posted the picture of the white Mitsubishi in which the man had arrived on Twitter and wrote: “Welcome to the world of stupid. Male turns up at the driving test center for his driving test. Having driven himself there unsupervised. Then fails his test for the 10th time male arrested by D unit Newtown for TWOC offence.“
Meanwhile, a chap in South Yorkshire passed his driving test in 33 attempts. Christian Whiteley-Mason took the help of 14 different instructors and 85 lessons over 25 years to finally pass his driving test.
He told The Mirror: “I can’t believe I’ve actually finally passed after all these years,”
“I’m still in shock!”
“There was this one examiner at the Barnsley test center who I used to pray I didn’t get. She was notoriously tough and she failed me every time.
“I had 56 lessons with my first instructor and eventually he told me to just give up as I would never pass.”
“I’d just had enough, I just thought I¹m never going to get it,”
“I just got bored with it,”
“I couldn’t see the point.”
“I had to either get taxis or rely on other people and it was costing me a fortune. So in January that was it, I just decided I was going to go for it.”
“Everyone laughed at me and said I’d never do it, I’d get bored again. But I was absolutely determined I was going to show everyone.”
“There must be a God because I prayed every night that I wouldn’t get that same examiner who¹d kept failing me, and I didn’t.”
“Not only did he pass his first test but he only got marked down for three minor errors.”
“You might say I passed first time this time. It was so hard. There’s a lot more to it now then when I first started.”
“There’s the independent driving tests, the theory tests, the hazard perception test.”
“I’m so proud of myself. It’s changed my life to be honest. I felt like I’d achieved everything I really wanted to achieve, this was the one thing left I had to do.”
“My motto was always been don’t stop believing.”
