Statistics

Here are the driving test pass rates for drivers taught either exclusively or not exclusively by myself. It may be the case that in the future driver trainers will be required by law to publish their statistics, although at the moment they are not.

The statistics aren't perfect but I am working hard to keep improving them. Please note that the published overall pass rates for driving test centres in SE London are approximately 40%, but this figure does not discriminate between people who passed on their first attempt, and people who passed on subsequent attempts.

Also, my figures do not include people who took tests in 2009, but did not pass in 2009. Those figures will appear next year.

• 59% passed 1st time.
• 26% passed 2nd time.
• 7%passed 3rd time.
• 4%passed 4th time.

• 60% passed 1st time
• 33% passed 2nd time.
• 7% passed 4th time.

• 57% of my customers Passed 1st time.
• 30% passed 2nd time.
• 12% took three tests.

Please note that the current overall average pass rate in London is around 35-40%.

Congratulations!

Top Ten Reasons for Failing a Driving Test

1. Observation at junctions - ineffective observation and judgement
2. Reverse parking - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy
3. Use of mirrors - not checking or not acting on the information
4. Reversing around a corner - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy
5. Incorrect use of signals - not cancelling or giving misleading signals
6. Moving away safely - ineffective observation
7. Incorrect positioning on the road - at roundabouts or on bends
8. Lack of steering control - steering too early or leaving it too late
9. Incorrect positioning to turn right - at junctions and in one way streets
10. Inappropriate speed - travelling too slowly or being hesitant
