Luke Littler Left 'Shaken' by Car Chase Days After Passing Test
Luke Littler has opened up on a terrifying car chase on the motorway that left him 'shaking'.
On Monday, Littler passed his driving test on the first attempt with no minors.
After passing his driving test, he said: "Get innnn. First time and zero minors."
He had no issues with his practical exam, having failed his theory test six times before passing it.

Littler took to social media to reveal that he had purchased a brand new personalised BMW Sport M 120 and has since taken it on the road.
But one of his first spins in his new car ended in a nightmare after he was involved in a motorway pursuit.
He was travelling to visit his girlfriend Faith when he spotted paparazzi following him, prompting him to take action on the road.
Littler tried to lose the paparazzi and explained the reason behind posting his new car on social media as he was left 'shaking' and 'nervous' following the ordeal.
Speaking to Darts Now, 'The Nuke' said: "On Wednesday, I was driving up to Faith's (Littler's girlfriend). I was getting followed. I made the latest exit you could possibly do on the motorway. I came off so late, and so did he. I think I did about three U-turns; he did the same. I was just shaking, nervous.
"I'd been driving for two days and getting followed on the motorway, so that's why I posted the car so he couldn't sell his pictures. That's for him. Yeah [it was paparazzi]."
Littler added: "I know it's their job, but following me on the motorway... it was dead busy, I was nervous. That's why I posted the car, so he couldn't do owt about it."
Despite passing his test and buying a car, he doesn't plan on driving to Wolverhampton for the Grand Slam of Darts, which begins on Saturday.
The 18-year-old opens his campaign with a group game against Karel Sedlacek before facing Daryl Gurney and Connor Scutt.
What car could Luke Littler drive next?
Given Littler bagged a cool £500,000 for winning the World Darts Championship, he could splash out on most luxury cars, including a Mercedes A-Class.
Before buying a BMW Sport M 120, he expressed his desire to own a Mercedes A-Class, not to mention a Ford Focus.
"I’ve always loved a Mercedes A-Class. Just a small car. Last year I was looking at driving and I loved Ford Focuses," he explained.
"But now, I’ve gone up in the world just a little! What model? No idea. Just an A-Class. I don’t know the different models.”
