      My dad is a retired driving instructor and has come across people similar to this. Undiagnosed learning difficulties are probably part of it, but in many cases the people that struggled also had English being not a native language. Maybe it is the combination of the two in these extreme cases

        There are also people who are just crippled by test taking anxiety. That’s probably not a good indicator for their driving ability either, though
