The DSA says research shows that learners who have had about forty hours professional tuition with a driving instructor plus plenty of private practice, stand the best chance of passing. 

The national current pass rate is only 43% (June 2004). Currently Steve's pass rate is around 80% and he has achieved 4 test passes with zero faults. Something he is extremely proud of.

For first time candidates, this national pass rate is even lower. To help you avoid the most common pitfalls* the DSA have provided a list of the top ten reasons why people fail...

1. Observation at junctions - Ineffective observation and judgment

2. Reverse parking - Ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

3. Use of mirrors - Not checking or not acting on the information

4. Reversing around a corner - Ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

5. Incorrect use of signals - Not canceling or giving misleading signals

6. Moving away safely - Ineffective observation

7. Incorrect positioning on the road - At roundabouts or on bends

8. Lack of steering control - Steering too early or leaving it too late

9. Incorrect positioning to turn right - At junctions and in one way streets

10. Inappropriate speed - Traveling too slowly or being hesitant
