Booking your driving test

The driving test is 75 years old on 1st June and since its inception over 94 million tests have taken place. Since 1935 the driving test has not really changed with many of the same manoeuvres been tested as well as now the theory test and hazard perception test being introduced since then. Many people who are looking to pass their driving test in what has become a rite of passage look for driving schools in Newcastle or where they live.

Since the driving test became longer and harder more people now fail, in 1935 63 per cent of the 246,000 drivers passed however by 2004 the rate had fallen to 43 per cent of the 1,399,115 who took it. Mr Bateman, assistant chief driving examiner at the Driving Standards Agency believes the fall in people passing the driving test is because there is far more traffic now than in 1935 rather than the test becoming more complex.

So if you’re looking to successfully pass your driving test then book in with a driving school in Sunderland or one nearest you and learn to drive with a qualified instructor.
