remember this is just the theory test, not the practical test. You cant take that before you pass your theory iirc.
I can’t see how you could fail that so many times. I wonder if its the hazard perception test each time.
Comment on Learner driver fails theory test for 128th time despite spending nearly £3k on fees

Considering the potential consequences of incompetent driving, I’m surprised there’s not a cap on the amount of attempts already.
If not a cap on the total, at least something like “no more than 12 attempts allowed in a year”. If evenly spaced that allows 1 attempt per month, giving time to practice and revise what was failed before.
Any more than that seems to be a case of throwing shit at the wall until enough sticks, or rather, make enough attempts and eventually you’re bound to do one without any majors. That hardly proves competence and capability though, which is really the point of testing in the first place.

Given how backed up testing centres are I’d be amazed if you could get more than four in a year. I took my test in 2020 (great year to take a test) and the time between me trying to take the test and me actually getting to take the test was about 5 months. Assuming it’s improved a little bit since then but they’re still backed up from what I hear
