Sienna Miller will no longer have to rely on chauffeurs and taxis to travel, because she has finally passed her driving test. She was handed her drivers license after taking the test twice, and has reportedly splashed on a $60,000 sports car to celebrate.

She says, “On my first test, they asked me to reverse into a bay of cones. I put my foot down, reversed at high velocity and completely flattened the cones. I did the girlie thing and burst into tears, but the instructor was having none of it. He told me to get out of the car and apply for another test.”

And the 26-year-old was so determined to pass, she signed up for a week’s worth of intensive lessons and took the test again. “I passed on the second attempt a few weeks ago. I’ll be in LA for the next few months filming the movie GI Joe and it’s like a ghost town if you can’t drive.”
