The driving test is more than a rite of passage. There are some, however, who for whatever reason, have not passed a driving test and continue to drive on a learner permit. There are 41,316 on their fourth or subsequent learner permit. Finally, practise, practise, practise - and always while accompanied by a fully qualified driver other than a novice. These may include an increase in the cost for those who have held a number of permits without undergoing a driving test.
