Reading these figures

  • The RSA's waiting figure is its estimate, at month end, of how long until an applicant is invited to choose a test date. It is not the same measure as DVSA's figure for Great Britain, so the two shouldn't be compared directly.
  • Pass rates are the RSA's monthly percentages for category B (car) tests; the 12-month figure here weights each month by the tests delivered.
  • Distances are between town centres (the centre is placed at Longford), not the test centre's door.

Apply for or change a test through the RSA's driving test service. We have no link with the RSA.
