The location of your driving test centre most certainly has a direct impact on how easy it is to pass your driving test. Essentially, the busier the area, the harder your test will be as can be found by the test centre pass rates.
Based on April through to September last year, Erith driving test centre – a very busy London based test centre had one of Britain’s lowest pass rates of just 31.6 percent. This is an area that has high levels of traffic and plenty of complicated traffic systems.
Compare this to less traffic-dense towns, then you’ll have pass rates of between 40 to 50 percent. Then extend that out into more rural locations, you can achieve pass rates of between 60 to 70 percent.
Although you are free to take your test at whichever test centre you choose, it is of course not always practical. But if you really are struggling to pass, it might be worth looking at an alternative test centre in a less busy location.
