He is the youngest triple crown winner ever but there is still one obstacle he cannot get over - his driving test.
Littler, 18, has failed his theory test for a fifth time.
And to make matters worse, he scored worse than he did on the test he failed just two weeks ago.
The Nuke improved in the area he needed, hazard perception, going from 41/75 to the 44/75 required to pass.

Luke Littler lights up Wollongong with Australian Darts Masters victory
World champion Luke Littler demonstrated his phenomenal teenage talent in Wollongong by winning the star-studded Australian Darts Masters. A year after being humbled in the final of the biggest invitation event to be played in Australia, the 18-year-old this time made no mistake, winning all three of his matches convincingly on Saturday night to lift yet another big title. He also crushed Damon Heta's homecoming dream as he hammered Australia's top player, the world No 10, in the quarter-finals. After defeating Heta 6-3 in the last eight and Stephen Bunting 7-4 in the semis, Littler outplayed Belgian Mike de Decker to win the final 8-4. In 2024, Littler had lost in the showdown 8-1 to former world champ Gerwyn Price, so was determined to put on a show for his Australian fans on his second visit. 'It feels very good. It's another one I can tick off,' Littler said after winning a World Series event for the first time in six attempts this year. 'I played very well tonight. I didn't play so well last night in the first round but tonight is when it really matters. 'It's not gone to plan this year in the World Series but there are plenty of opportunities to win and I've finally picked one up,' added Littler, who's been in superlative form in other events, particularly with his victories in the Premier League and recent World Matchplay. Now he's after a trans-Tasman double when he moves on to the New Zealand Darts Masters. 'A few days off and then Auckland, I can't wait,' he said of next weekend's event. The frightening thing for his opponents is that Littler prevailed at the WIN Sports and Entertainments Centre without ever quite hitting his very best form. Perth ace Heta, who had held high hopes of toppling Littler after averaging nearly 110 in his first-round match on Friday, just couldn't hit those heights again, and the teenager made him pay by reeling off three straight legs from 3-3 to move into the semis, including a 104 checkout in the penultimate game. In the semis, there was some more magic from Littler as he pulled off the biggest finish of the tournament, a maximum 170 'big fish' checkout on the way to beating Bunting. In the final, Littler was always in control once he produced two fantastic legs, one featuring a 143 checkout and the next an 11-darter. It all left De Decker sighing with a rueful smile: 'He needs to retire because it's not fun any more.'

Oliver Glasner targets more joy against Liverpool on ‘dream' Wembley return
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is convinced the Eagles are capable of instilling fear into Liverpool when they face the Premier League holders in the Community Shield and live out their 'childhood dreams' at Wembley. Palace will learn on Monday – via a verdict from the Court of Arbitration for Sport – whether they will compete in the Europa League or Conference League this season, but first will look to upset another top-flight giant after defeating Manchester City to claim their maiden major trophy in May. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last three trips to Anfield, drawing twice and winning once – a fact that is not lost on Glasner, who will be relieved to shelve conversations about Palace's legal drama and focus on another chance at silverware and the new campaign. THREE POINTS ON MERSEYSIDE 🤩 🔴 0-1 🦅 #CPFC | #LIVCRY — Crystal Palace F.C. (@CPFC) April 14, 2024 'That's why we asked to play the Community Shield at Anfield, because we are unbeaten there,' joked the Austrian. 'But, again, nobody listens to us. But we (were) unbeaten at Wembley (last season), so that's why we accepted it at the end. 'Honestly I don't know why, but I'm always entering the games and have the confidence and the belief that we can win it. We showed it against Arsenal, we showed it against City, against Villa, last game against Liverpool. 'We know they are a great team, but I know we are a great team as well. We know that if we perform at our top level, I think no-one likes to play against us.' Though the importance of Sunday's prize yields varied opinions, Glasner, a man who revealed he is fiercely competitive even when playing Connect Four with his own daughter, needs no convincing about the significance of the occasion. He said: 'Go into any school, ask girls and boys where you want to play when you play football, and everybody will say 'I would like to play once in my life at Wembley'. 'We all experience it now the third time within three months. That means we are living all of our childhood dreams, and this is how I will always see these games.' Glasner confirmed both midfielder Cheick Doucoure (knee) and striker Eddie Nketiah (hamstring) are set for significant spells on the sidelines – the former also having missed the majority of the second half last season. Matheus Franca, who has played just 381 minutes since signing in August 2023, is sidelined with yet another injury, this time to his adductor, while Chadi Riad (anterior cruciate ligament) is not expected back until October at the earliest. Palace's Wembley triumph – and Glasner's role in it – cemented his status as one of the most celebrated figures in the club's history but the 50-year-old revealed he surprisingly still enjoys a great deal of anonymity in London. 'I get recognised a little bit more,' he said. 'But yesterday we had this Premier League meeting, I went by tube there and back. No selfies, nothing. 'So that's the positive of everybody having their phone, because nobody looks at me, everybody looks at their phone, so it's still nice to move through London.' Asked if perhaps not sporting his lucky black jumper from Palace's run to the FA Cup played a factor in rendering him unrecognisable, Glasner confirmed: 'The jumper has done its job. The jumper is retired.'
