Paul Miller, from West Yorkshire, had a flood of well-wishers praise him after posting about the trip with son Fin to sit his third test.

A man from Yorkshire has been hailed a 'fantastic dad' after travelling hundreds of miles to the Scottish Highlands so his son could sit his driving test.

Posting about the trip on Twitter, people said they had been left "in tears" over his dedication as a dad, but Paul, 48, played down what he'd done. The pair planned out the travel times and set off. However, en route to the small village, Paul got a call to say their Airbnb accommodation in Gairloch was no longer available due to a faulty boiler.

“We were already halfway up at that point so there was no way I wanted to turn back. At that point, if the car had been powered by swearwords, we would have got to Scotland for free.” “At the end of the double lesson the instructor said he would have failed him for a couple of major things, so Fin was devastated about that. I said to him, ‘look, you’re here now, you’ve got nothing to lose’.

Posting about it on Twitter, Paul was surprised to find he had been dubbed an incredible dad for the lengths he went to to see Fin pass his test.
