Darts champion Luke Littler is jubilant after successfully passing his driving test, marking a significant achievement after facing challenges along the way. Despite breezing through his practical test on the first try, the road to passing the theory exam was a bumpy one for the world title-holder.
Struggling through six unsuccessful attempts, the 18-year-old Littler finally clinched his theory test victory. Now authorized to drive, a proud moment was shared on social media by Colin Price Driving School, with Littler reposting the celebratory announcement.
The driving school’s post praised Littler for acing his driving test in Warrington with zero faults on his inaugural attempt. The success story was hailed as an exceptional feat, urging Littler to savor the joy of hitting the road in his new wheels.
Earlier this summer, Littler candidly shared his journey of setbacks, revealing his fifth theory test results where he narrowly missed the passing mark. Despite a close call with his most recent theory exam in September, Littler managed to secure a pass, ultimately nailing the practical aspect of the test.
Reflecting on his aspirations post his world championship win in January 2025, Littler disclosed his desire to invest in a new car with part of his prize money. However, recognizing the urgency to secure his driver’s license, he prioritized his driving test over delaying the milestone.
Expressing his affinity for a Mercedes A-Class as his dream car, Littler humorously deliberated on his evolving car preferences, emphasizing the importance of mastering driving skills before reaching his twenties. The prospect of owning a car was viewed as a personal gift to himself rather than a birthday present.
Amidst his driving test success, Littler gears up for his PDC World Championship defense, having already secured a spot in the Players Championship Finals. His upcoming matches in the finals are anticipated, with formidable opponents aiming to challenge his reign in the darting world.
Littler’s qualification for the forthcoming World Championship, based on merit, positions him as a contender among the top 32 seeds competing at Alexandra Palace. The tournament’s revised format eliminates byes for seeded players, including Littler, intensifying the competition right from the start.
