Huddersfield – Pass Rate

Huddersfield driving test centre has a pass rate of 48.8%, which is around average for most test centres in the UK. Its pass rate is calculated from 6 months of data. This statistic is generated from the fact that during April to September 2016, 3215 driving tests were attempted here, from this number 1944 of them passed.

Although the pass rate may seem low, this does not mean the examiner can still pass you if you must still show expert driving skills and knowledge of the rules of the road.

When you book your last-minute intensive driving lessons, you will have the choice of learning in an automatic or a manual car. Last year there were over 1.7 million driving tests conducted. Out of these, only about 30% were taken in an automatic car.

Manual or Automatic Intensive Driving Lessons

It’s easier to pass your driving test in a week by taking an automatic car compared to a manual. This is because you don’t have the extra task of changing gears, especially on approach to junctions such as roundabouts. This, in turn, means that you will have more time to focus on the speed and observations on the approach to such junctions. Once you’ve passed your driving test in an automatic, you will be restricted to driving only automatics. However, you are most welcome to upgrade to a manual license by retaking and passing another test.

If you have no problem with the changing of gears, then it would be wise to take your last-minute intensive driving lesson and the official driving test in a manual car. Once you’ve passed in a manual car, you will in effect have 2 licenses. An automatic as well as a manual license.
