Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 3:19 pm
A woman has finally passed her driving test on her 10th attempt.
Dawn Forster has had 1,300 driving lessons costing £7,000 over a nine year period, reports the Mirror.
Dawn from Middlesbrough said: "I'm so used to them saying 'You've failed.' I had to look twice and I pinched myself. It's a wonderful feeling."
She has had three lessons a week, on average, for the past nine years and has been taught by five different instructors.
Her instructor Barry Yale said: "She should have stayed in the car while the examiner finished his paperwork but she got out jumping and crying. It meant a lot to her. I'm thrilled."
