“You can do all this, but you can’t pass your driving theory.” – Luke Littler encounters unexpected bump in the road: theory exam remains stumbling block

Darts prodigy Luke Littler, the 18-year-old world champion, faced public teasing over his inability to pass the UK driving theory test during his debut on Celebrity Gogglebox, per GB News. His friend, streamer Morgan Burtwistle (AngryGinge), pointed to Littler’s trophy collection, joking, “What have we got behind us here, Luke? … What haven’t we got?” before delivering the punchline: “You can do all this, but you can’t pass your driving theory,” per. Littler, who laughed off the jibe, has struggled with the test despite his precision on the oche, where he became the youngest PDC World Champion in January 2025 and won six Premier League nights, per The Sun Ireland.

Littler, from Warrington, Cheshire, has earned over £2 million, with ambitions to buy a Mercedes A-Class, a step up from his previous Ford Focus dream, per The Sun Ireland. However, his busy schedule led to canceled driving lessons earlier in 2025 due to burnout fears, and vandals damaged his team’s van in May, per. The theory test, requiring 43/50 correct multiple-choice answers and 44/75 hazard perception points, has a 50% pass rate, with tricky questions on rules like stopping distances, per This is Money. X posts, like @DartsNews02, highlighted the irony: “Darts phenom Luke Littler encounters unexpected bump: theory exam remains stumbling block,” per.

Littler’s struggle with the Highway Code contrasts with his dartboard calculations, leaving him reliant on his team for transport, per GB News. No confirmation exists on a boycott of tournaments, despite recent crowd hostility in Germany, per Daily Record.
