Former First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon has achieved a significant milestone in her learning to drive journey, successfully passing her driving theory test. She began taking driving lessons in March, describing it as a necessary step in her personal growth, and has since demonstrated her commitment to learning and becoming a skilled driver. According to her driving instructor, Sturgeon received full marks on the multiple-choice section of the test, scoring 50 out of 50, and an excellent score on the hazard perception part, earning 56 out of 75.
Sturgeon’s achievement was celebrated on social media, with a post on Twitter featuring a picture of her test result captioned “Step one complete.” Close friend Ricky Bell suggested that taking driving lessons was a deliberate move on her part to prepare for life after leaving politics, noting that as First Minister she would have had access to chauffeur-driven transportation, making her need for driving lessons more pressing. Bell also referenced a conversation they had years earlier, in which Sturgeon expressed concern about failing her driving test due to her lack of experience with exams.

Although she has not revealed her immediate plans, it is clear that she is embracing this new chapter of her life with determination and optimism. Throughout the process, Sturgeon has demonstrated her resilience and determination, facing her fears and pushing past her concerns about failure.
As she continues on her journey to become a licensed driver, it will be interesting to see how this newfound confidence and independence will impact her life and future endeavors. With her commitment to learning and personal growth, Sturgeon is sure to face whatever challenges come her way with courage and determination.
