manchestereveningnews.co.ukDriving theory test pass rates are the lowest they have been in 15 years, according to data released by the DVSA. The pass rate now stands at just 44.2 per cent, compared to 65.4 per cent back in 2007/8.
And there is a huge disparity between the success rate across different regions – with those in Aviemore, Scotland, most likely to pass (73.5 per cent).
In contrast, new motorists in Hornsea, Yorkshire, are least likely to come away with the qualification (23.6 per cent). A study of 12,903 motorists, by AA Driving School, found just 18 per cent think they could pass a theory driving test if they had to retake it.
An overwhelming nine in ten admitted they don’t understand all road signs – with 26 per cent of these saying this happens either sometimes, or very often.
