There are countries where you would need to undergo a psych evaluation if you fail more than x times

In the state I learned to drive in, if you fail a driving test 3 times (to be fair that is the actual driving exam, not the learner’s permit paper exam) then you have to get clearance from the governor to be allowed to take it a 4th time.

Failing 3 times definitely indicates you will have some serious issues driving safely. Its not that hard to get a minimum score of 70/100.

The paper exam idk if the rules are the same. But still, failing 128 times is seriously indicative of ones ability to learn the rules of the road

That’s probably a good idea.
