Little harsh language there. 70% (+-) fail the first time. Routine is not the right word but, it gets the point across that failing is very common and is not part of a non-existent systemic conspiracy. Knowing that failing is common, or ’’routine’’ could help someone not beat themselves up for failing and help them realize that the test is hard for everyone and that they will succeed if they keep working.
Well, your statistics are not right. Its more towards 50/50 actually according to official sources.
The problem is alot of drivers are not ready when they take their test but belive they are, so they fail and book another atempt because it was not their fault, it was the inspector, always.
