英國28歲學渣 駕考理論掛科110次
A 28-year-old woman has failed her driving theory test a record 110 times, new figures today revealed.
今日最新數據顯示，英國一28歲女子創下了駕照理論考試掛科110次的新紀錄。The unnamed learner, from Southwark, south-east London, spent a staggering £3,410 in a bid to show she knows the rules and dangers of the road.
這名未被提及姓名的女子來自倫敦東南部的薩瑟克區，爲了證明自己瞭解交通規則和路況危險，竟然一共花了3410英鎊參加考試。But despite her determination to pass the test, she is yet to do so - and still has her practical driving test to overcome.
但是，儘管有通過考試的決心，她至今仍未通過理論考試，更別談之後的路考了。
The driving theory test, costing £31 a time, comprises multiple-choice questions and a hazard perception exam.
參加英國駕照理論考試每次需支付31英鎊，題型包括多選題和路況危險感知測試。Nationally, it has an average pass rate of 65.4 per cent.
全國平均通過率爲65.4%。If the woman had started sitting the test at the minimum driving age of 17, she would have sat it a whopping 10 times a year for the past 11 years.
假設這名女子一年滿17歲就開始參加理論考試，那麼在過去11年中，她平均每年都要考10次之多。Although no other learner has come close to the woman's incredible number of attempts to pass, several appear to be trying their best.
雖然還沒有人能超過這名女子的紀錄，但一些人掛科的次數也不少。A 30-year-old man from Peterborough has failed the driving theory test 86 times, while a 41-year-old learner from Birmingham passed on his 80th attempt.
彼得伯勒的一名30歲的男子就掛科了86次，伯明翰的一名41歲的男子也不遑多讓，掛科了80次才最終通過。The second worst female theory candidate on record was a 45-year-old woman from Bristol, who sat the exam a whopping 57 times.
一名來自布裏斯托爾的45歲的女子是理論考試掛科次數第二多的女性，她一共掛科了57次。They also showed that even when learners managed to pass the theory test, some still struggled to master the practical exam.
數據還顯示，即使通過了理論考試，一些人還在爲通過路考苦苦掙扎。One such example was a middle-aged man who failed the practical driving test a record 36 times - thankfully, passing on his 37th attempt.
舉例來說，一名中年男子就創下了36次路考掛科的紀錄。謝天謝地，第37次他終於過了。The unnamed 40-year-old, from Stoke-on-Trent, forked out at least £2,294 trying to pass - which could have paid for a decent second-hand car.
斯托克的一名40歲的不知名男子共支付了超過2294英鎊的考試費用，這些錢夠用來買一輛還不錯的二手車了。Another man, aged 22, was slightly more successful, passing on his 36th attempt at a test centre in Chelmsford in Essex.
另一名22歲的男子稍微“成功”一點，在艾賽克斯切姆斯福德的考試中心考了36次終於通過。The practical driving test, lasting about 40 minutes, costs £62 to take on a weekday or £75 on an evening, weekend or bank holiday.
路考時間大約爲40分鐘，工作日的考試費用爲62英鎊，在晚上、週末或銀行休假日考試，費用則爲75英鎊。A DSA spokesman told MailOnline: 'It is essential that all drivers demonstrate they have the right skills, knowledge and attitude to drive safely.
英國駕駛標準管理局發言人對每日郵報這樣說，“我們必須看到所有駕駛員掌握了正確的駕駛技術、知識和安全駕駛的態度。”'The driver testing and training regime tests candidates’ ability to drive safely and responsibly as well as making sure they know the theory behind safe driving.'
“駕照考試和訓練體制是爲了測試學員是否能夠安全、負責地駕駛，並確保他們瞭解安全駕駛背後的理論知識。”
