Click here to book your Practical Driving Test. This is official online booking site, please be aware there are many sites that charge you extra to book your test through them. We would strongly suggest only booking your practical driving test through the official site.
Driving test pass rates explained.
The local driving test centre pass rates quoted here are gathered from the Driving & Vehicle Standards Agencies (DVSA) own official statistics. Each time a candidate (learner) takes a UK practical driving test, the result and any marks, both driving faults and any failure marks are recorded and sent to the DVSA’s head office where the figures are collated both locally for that test centre and also nationally. The DVSA no longer openly publish these figures on their website, however, we have been able to obtain these official figures and have published them here as we feel they are of interest to anyone waiting to take their practical driving test.
Pass Rate Percentage East England.
An average pass rate of 48% would mean that if 100 candidates take the practical driving test on any given day then on average only 48 will pass and 52 candidates will fail! The most common driving faults (16 of these and you will fail) are; incorrect use of gears and not using the cars mirrors correctly. Regarding the failure marks (only 1 and you fail) the common causes are a lack of planning and awareness, plus the poor judgement of other traffic and road users.
