Janine Mars, a personal assistant at a construction site, from Chatham, in Kent, Southeast England, has spent more than £5,000 ($7,424) on almost 260 driving lessons, but failed in four attempts to pass her driving test.

The 31-year-old has had five different instructors, but none have managed to teach her how to drive correctly in 14 years of lessons. She can't even pull away from a junction without stalling, despite intensive instruction.

Mars is now blacklisted by some driving schools due to her repeated failures but puts her epic lack of success down to a lack of confidence.
