See if you would pass your theory test with our 20 question quiz
Driving 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 . In contrast, new motorists in Hornsea, Yorkshire, are least likely to come away with the qualification . 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.The analysis comes as the AA Driving School launches a new theory test app to tackle the problem.
“Learners face enough challenges as it is at the moment with the driving test backlog – we don’t want the theory test to be another hurdle for them, which is why we’ve created our new app. The fact so many qualified drivers also struggle with important elements of driving theory, such as road signs and stopping distances, just shows it takes revision and practice to get to grips with the questions and the hazard perception."To test your own theory knowledge, try our 20 question quiz below.
