Read our privacy policy Teenage twins have said they are “over the moon” after passing their driving tests at the same time, on the same date, and in the same place. “And when he told me… ‘No, no, that’s not right, that’s your sister’s date’, but he showed me it and there it was, and they both ended up getting the same start time, exactly the same centre, both in Scarborough.” Mr Willis said that seeing the twins, who are close and have been in the same class through school, pass together was “fantastic” and they were “over the moon”. I was like 'That's so weird, why is it all the same, same day, same time, same place, same amount of minors', so it was a bit weird Emma Willis “And when they got out they both gave each other a big hug as well because I think they were pleased and relieved for each other.” Emma said: “I came back two minutes before him and then we were both just looking through the windows at each other trying to see each other’s facial expressions and then got out the car and he was holding a certificate. “I just jumped on him because I was more relieved that he passed, obviously, because he did it twice before, so I just really wanted him to pass to be honest, but it’s even better that we both passed.” She added: “But I was like ‘That’s so weird, why is it all the same, same day, same time, same place, same amount of minors’, so it was a bit weird.” Emma’s pass came just in time for her to start commuting to a new job as a chef at a restaurant around 30 miles away, while Alfie is starting a manufacturing apprenticeship in York in September.
