Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon Passes Driving Test at 53

Former Scottish SNP leader achieves long-delayed personal milestone amidst ongoing police investigation into party finances.

Nicola Sturgeon, former First Minister and SNP leader, achieved a personal milestone by passing her driving test at the age of 53, proving that it's never too late to pursue new skills.
Sturgeon claimed that learning to drive is part of the 'next phase of life' and is about gaining a measure of personal freedom she hadn't prioritized during her political career.
She dedicated her achievement to Andy MacFarlane, her driving instructor, expressing the need for an excellent teacher whom she could trust and feel comfortable with as an adult learner.
Despite being a part of an ongoing police investigation into SNP finances and her arrest in June, Sturgeon effectively managed to pursue her driving lessons uninterrupted.
Sturgeon's decision to learn driving spurred speculation among friends about her plans to quit as First Minister, as she wouldn't require chauffeur services if she wasn't in office.
