These are the figures for the Driving Tests
On 9 November the Department for Transport (DfT) published the official driving test statistics for 1 April to 31 October 2022.
The latest driving test data reveals the pass rate for October has dropped to 47.9% in October. There has also been an increase in how often driving examiners need to physically intervene to avoid a dangerous incident to every 1 in 8 tests.
Following the last lockdown in 2021, the driving test service was not at full capacity and needed re-establishing. Since then DVSA has taken unprecedented action to boost test availability, including out-of-hours testing and examiner recruitment campaigns. As a result of DVSA measures to provide more tests, the provisional data shows that 836,952 driving tests were carried out between May and October 2022 - an increase of 49,647 compared to the same period in 2021.

So please when a driving Instructor tells you you are not ready to go for a Test they are telling you. You only have less than a 50% chance of passing and we don't want that for you. To see a pupil who is working hard to drive but knows they are not ready this is why.Cars roads are so different now from when parents passed we want learners to be ready for their Test and rushing does not work.
