Cardington – High speed A Roads

High-speed ‘A’ roads such as the A421 dual carriageway is likely to appear on the driving test route. Try to get plenty of practice merging onto the carriageway. Under no circumstances must you force the vehicles on the main road to slow down, swerve or to stop.

Rule country roads may also feature in the driving test. These roads seem easy but challenging due to the high speed’s narrow lanes and winding bends.

Driving Test Cardington – Pass Rate

Cardington is quite a busy test centre in comparison to most other test centers across the UK. Yearly, around 7000 people attempt their driving test here. To calculate the pass rate, data from a 6-month period is collected.

From April to September, close to 3500 driving tests were conducted and just under 1600 of them passed their test. From this, we can see that the pass rate is roughly 46%. This might seem low but is higher than the average for test centers in the country.
