I am really happy I passed, it's something I wanted to do before I had my daughter to make it easier for me when she was born."Miss French woke up at 4am on the morning of her driving test to find her waters had broken.But when the baby didn't arrive she decided to sit her test, which was booked for 8.40am.Miss French's labour last another six hours and baby Eva MacFarlane was born at 7.30pm that day.She added: "One good thing about being in labour was it killed any pre-test nerves."
