Emily, 22, had been trying to get a test since passing her theory exam in April A student who was struggling to book a driving test locally ended up going to Scotland and paying £150 in travel costs just to get her licence. Emily Doyle, 22, had to venture all the way to Aberdeen from her home town in Windsor, Berkshire, to take her driving test. Musical theatre student Emily said she had been trying to book a driving test close to home since passing her theory exam in April.
The trip wasn’t without its challenges – including having to take a detour to get to Aberdeen due to flooding from Storm Babet They stopped off in Edinburgh and carried on to Aberdeen – but were faced with flooding from Storm Babet along the way and had to take a long detour to get to the city. Despite the positive outcome of Emily passing her test, the pair said the ordeal stressed them out and they felt frustrated they’d had to make such a long trip.
