Darts sensation Luke Littler has triumphed in passing his driving test after facing multiple challenges. The world champion aced his practical test on the first try, but his theory test proved to be a more arduous task.
At the age of 18, Littler encountered six failed attempts before finally securing a passing score on his theory exam. With this achievement, he is now officially licensed to drive, as confirmed by Colin Price Driving School, who proudly shared a photo of the accomplished darts player on social media, which Littler subsequently reposted.
The driving school’s caption hailed Littler’s success in passing the test flawlessly on his initial attempt, praising his remarkable accomplishment and encouraging him to relish his newfound driving privileges.
Following a series of unsuccessful theory test attempts, Littler managed to pass in September by a slim margin. Although his hazard perception score comfortably exceeded the passing threshold, his performance in the multiple-choice section was on the edge. Nevertheless, he left nothing to chance during the practical examination.
Reflecting on his victory at the world championship earlier this year, Littler revealed his intention to use part of the prize money to purchase a new car. Acknowledging the necessity of obtaining his driver’s license promptly, he expressed his preference for a Mercedes A-Class, emphasizing his evolving automotive tastes and plans to gift himself driving lessons as a personal milestone.
Littler’s recent accomplishment coincides with his preparation for defending his title at the upcoming PDC World Championship in December. Despite an early exit at the European Championship, he has secured a spot in the Players Championship Finals, where he is set to face tough competition.
As an order-of-merit qualifier, Littler is among the notable contenders for the upcoming World Championship, which commences in December with a revised format affecting all 32 seeded players, including Littler.
