Everyone learns at a different pace, but one man failed the theory test a whopping 157 times before passing.
The unnamed 42-year-old man from England spent a shocking £3,600 while learning to drive.
He's now passed his driving theory test on his 158th attempt.
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request by a car leasing company submitted to the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) revealed his surprising statistics.
The second highest number belongs to a woman who hasn't managed to pass her test despite 117 attempts.
Driving theory exams costing £23 to book through the gov.uk website. It's easy to see how they've spent thousands of pounds attempting.
In third place is a 48-year-old woman who finally passed after 93 failed attempts.
The practical driving exam is even harder for many wannabe drivers.
. A 72-year-old man needed 43 attempts before he finally got the pass he needed. It's thought he spent around £3,225 on exams to pass.
A 47-year-old woman also from England, still hasn't passed after 41 tries. Her bill is around £3,075 and counting.
How's that for determination?
