Detail

Information on the number and pass rates of driving and riding practical tests conducted in Great Britain for the quarter July to September 2015, and also statistics on driving instructors.

The statistics are derived from data held by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which administers the driving test and training schemes in Great Britain.

During July to September 2015:

  • the most rapid increases were again for Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) tests, up 34% overall, reflecting the improving economy and current high demand for professional lorry drivers
