Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has passed her driving theory test.
Ms Sturgeon started learning to drive in March after she resigned as first minister, after describing the move as “an important part of the next phase of life”.
Ms Sturgeon passed the test with ease, scoring a perfect 50 out of 50 on the multiple choice portion of the test and a perfect 56 out of 75 on hazard perception.
“First step done,” Ms Sturgeon tweeted on Saturday.
Friend Rich Bell previously said the courses were a signal that Ms Sturgeon was preparing for life after becoming first minister.
Speaking to the BBC’s Nicola Sturgeon podcast, he said: “I think the most important thing is that she said she was taking driving lessons.
“If you’re going to be driven by a driver as a first minister, you don’t need a driving lesson.”
He added: “She said to me years ago that she didn’t want to take the driving test in case she failed it because she had never failed a test before that.”
