Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler, who has taken the sporting world by storm with his meteoric rise, has encountered an unexpected hurdle—failing his driving theory test. The 17-year-old PDC star shared the news with fans, revealing a rare setback in what has been a whirlwind year.
Littler, known for his cool composure on the oche, admitted the result came as a surprise. "Back to the revision," he quipped on social media, showing his trademark humour in the face of disappointment.
From Darts Dominance to Driving Dilemma
The Warrington-born prodigy, who reached the PDC World Championship final earlier this year, has been juggling his darting commitments with the mundane realities of teenage life. While he’s mastered the art of hitting treble 20s under pressure, the Highway Code proved a tougher challenge.
Fans were quick to rally behind the young star, with many pointing out that even sporting geniuses face everyday struggles. Fellow darts players joined in, sharing their own driving test mishaps in solidarity.
What’s Next for Littler?
With his darting career continuing to soar—including recent Premier League Darts appearances—Littler will now have to squeeze in theory test revision between tournaments. "If he can handle the pressure of Ally Pally, he’ll ace the retake," one fan tweeted.
The incident has only endeared the teenager further to supporters, proving that even the most talented athletes face relatable challenges off the stage.
