A bit cocky? 91% of Irish people think they would pass their driving test again?

Outside of school exams it’s regarded as one of the most daunting test you can take, but it seems that Irish motorists are confident they could pass their driving test with flying colours second time around. 
According to new research from Carzone, 91% of Irish motorists say they would pass their driving test if they had to take it again.
The research reveals that 41% of those questioned learned to drive between the age of 17-20 with ‘parent pressure’ being the reason why 1 in 5 got behind the wheel in the first place. A further 46% say they were inspired to learn to drive because they wanted independence.
According to the research the first lesson is usually a family affair. 40% of those polled were given their first taste of the open road by their dad, while over a quarter (26%) went to a driving instructor. 
Only 8% had their first driving lesson from their mother 
and 7% say a sibling taught them. Given the family 
influence on first time drivers, it’s no surprise that 48% of those questioned say they first learned to drive in their parents’ car.
91% of Irish people think they would pass their driving test again? Going by what most of us witness on a daily basis; I highly doubt it!
