Getting a driver's license isn't just a privilege, it's a rite of passage for teenagers who see it as their ticket to adulthood.
In 1992, Christian Whiteley-Mason of England was looking forward to getting his driver's license, but failed his test. Now, after 25 years and 33 attempts, the 42-year-old is finally able to get behind the wheel. He says, "I can't believe I've actually finally passed after all these years. I'm still in shock!"
Over the past 25 years, Christian has taken 85 lessons with 14 different instructors and spent a whopping $12,000. After failing the test for the 32nd time back in 2003, he just conceded that he would never pass and gave up trying. But he recently decided to give it one more go, and this time he passed, albeit with three minor mistakes committed. (The Mirror)
