DRIVING theory test pass rates are the lowest they have been in 15 years, according to data released by the DVSA.<\/p>\n
The pass rate now stands at just 44.2 per cent, compared to 65.4 per cent back in 2007\/8.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And there is a huge disparity between the success rate across different regions \u2013 with those in Aviemore, Scotland most likely to pass (73.5 per cent).<\/p>\n
In contrast, new motorists in Hornsea, Yorkshire are least likely to come away with the qualification (23.6 per cent).<\/p>\n
It comes after a study of 12,903 motorists, by AA Driving School, found just 18 per cent think they could pass a theory driving test if they had to retake it.<\/p>\n
An overwhelming nine in ten admitted they don\u2019t understand all road signs \u2013 with 26 per cent of these saying this happens very often or sometimes.<\/p>\n
