We all know the drill. You take driving lessons, you pass your test, and then you immediately forget everything you've learned. Everybody does it.

Crossing your hands on the wheel, putting your elbow on the top of the door, block-shifting -- these are all things you can't do on your test, but things that 90% of drivers do anyway.

However, despite this, a new poll has revealed that 76% of UK motorists are confident that they would pass the driving test again if they were made to retake it.

The survey, carried out by GEM Motoring Assist, also revealed that although motorists are confident in their skills behind the wheel, less than half would feel that they would pass the driving theory test first time.

So, how would you feel about taking your driving test again? Do you reckon you'd pass, or would it be a case of third-time lucky?
