Game Of Thrones' Maisie Williams Passes Her Driving Test

Congratulations are in order for Game Of Thrones' Maisie Williams, as she has passed her driving test! 

The 17-year-old actress, who you'll recognise most from her role as Arya Stark in GoT, managed to find the time to take her test in between her busy filming schedule, passing first time round might we add.

The rising star hopes this will open up more acting doors in the future, explaining: 'I have been sent through so many scripts where my character drives and it’s been such a heart-breaking moment when I realise I can’t go for it.'

'So many more doors will be opened for me now.'

On taking the tricky test, Williams said: "When the examiner told me I had passed I said no way and then jumped out the car, hugged Dave my RED Driving School instructor and nearly cried."

"I then told the examiner that I was going to buy a car. I am so relieved my test is over but very scared to go out driving by myself for the first time now."

As to whether her character would have benefited from driving, she quipped:  ‘I think Arya would love to drive a car. Maybe that way she would have been home in time to save her family in the last series!’
