If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re thinking about taking your driving test in Manchester, you might want to steer clear [pun intended] of the Cheetham Hill driving test centre. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test Today<\/a><\/strong> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The driving test pass rate at the Cheetham Hill test centre in Manchester is disastrous. Between April and June\u00c2\u00a02015, just 33.1 percent of candidates taking the DVSA practical test passed. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the fourth worst record in the country.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test Today has a sound knowledge of UK driving test centres and if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re thinking about taking your driving test in Manchester, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d recommend heading on over to the Ashton-under-Lyne centre instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Failure figures published<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Recently released figures, which show the failure rates for every single driving test centre in the UK, revealed that Cheetham Hill has the fourth worst pass record across the entire country.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, they weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the only test centre with a dismal DVSA practical test<\/a><\/strong> pass rate. Salford Fire Station registered a 35 per cent pass rate, Middleton had a 37.1 per cent pass rate, while the unfortunately named Failsworth recorded a meagre 37.3 per cent pass rate. All three of these test centres ended up in the country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bottom 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding to Failsworth\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s woes, in 2014 it was named as one of the driving test centres with the most \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdangerous fault\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 fails in Britain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It would seem that driving test centres in the north-west are falling short when it comes to pass rates. In Rochdale, for instance, although a 41.7 per cent pass rate is considerably better than some of its north-west counterparts, it still ended up in the UK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bottom 50 for pass rates.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pass rate national average <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

With the UK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s national average currently at 46.7 per cent, those taking a test at any of the test centres named above stood little chance of getting a driving licence. However, at the other end of the scale, Ashton-under-Lyne in Greater Manchester fared much better than other north-west test centres, recording a 62.4 percent pass rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll soon be taking your driving test in Manchester, booking yourself in at the Ashton-under-Lyne centre is your best bet as you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re twice as likely to emerge with a driving licence compared to those taking their exam at Cheetham Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only other centre in Greater Manchester to exceed the national average was Hyde, which registered a 57.7 per cent rate and made it into the country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s top 50 best-performing test centres.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men more likely to pass than women <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sorry ladies, the figures published by the Department for Transport indicate that men are more likely to pass than women. That said, we could say the research was probably conducted by a bloke so he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s biased.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

The data indicates that 50.5 per cent of men successfully completed the driving test, compared with 43.3 per cent of women.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other locations<\/span>, the gap was considerably vast. Take Scarborough, for example, where 72.7 per cent of men achieved a test pass compared with just 50.8 per cent of women.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not all bad news for you ladies. Across 14 test centres, including Brentwood in London, Bromsgrove, and Darlington, the pass rate was higher among women than men.<\/span><\/p>\n
