All about driving tests 8

Since the driving test was introduced over 75 years ago 94 million tests have been completed, and with more affordable cars and insurance, as well as cheaper driving lessons the demand is set to grow even further. Driving schools in Liverpool and Birmingham have seen demand grow significantly over the past few years with more and more students taking up driving at a younger age.

Since its introduction in 1935, the driving test has got significantly harder, due mainly to new traffic laws and the introduction of the theory test and hazard perception test. In 1935, 63% of drivers passed their driving test, but by 2004 only 43% of drivers passed the test.

So with over half the driving test takers failing, it is more important than ever to pick a recognised driving school, regardless of whether it’s a driving school in Birmingham or in your local area.
