LUKE LITTLER has celebrated yet another triumph after passing his driving test at the first attempt.
The 18-year-old darts star has taken the sport by storm in the last year after becoming world champion.
A number of other titles have followed after blowing away his competitors – and now he has another victory to boast about.
Littler might have failed his theory six times, but when it came to his practical he passed first time – with ZERO faults.
The teenager can now use his lucrative earnings on a £30,000 Mercedes A-Class after eyeing up the car earlier this year.
After winning his first World Championship, Littler said he was hoping to spend his £500k prize money on the car – despite not being able to drive it yet.

He said: “I’ve always loved a Mercedes A-Class. Just a small car. Last year I was looking at driving and I loved Ford Focuses.
“But now, I’ve gone up in the world just a little! What model? No idea. Just an A-Class. I don’t know the different models.”
He initially said he was only planning to have lessons when he moved into his twenties – but has accelerated his plans to get on the road.
Littler added: “I’m going to have to do my lessons before I get into my twenties when it’ll be too late and I can’t be bothered.

“It won’t be a birthday present. I think it would be a birthday present from me to me.”
His practical driving exam was certainly a smoother ride than his bumpy journey to passing his theory.
Littler had to wait until the seventh attempt – eventually scoring 43 out of 50, which was the exact required to pass.
His hazard perception section was more comfortable as he managed 63 out of 75, far above the 44 needed.
He celebrated with an Instagram post showing his letter that informed him he had passed.
Littler wrote: “We will have a look, of course we will have a look!” alongside some dancing emojis.
