According to a new poll conducted by greeting card company thortful.com, there are best times and days to pass a driving test.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Thortful.com surveyed UK drivers who have passed their driving test over the last five years to find out if there is a pattern based on the time and day a learner driver passed their exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the superstitious among you, Thortful.com\u2019s research found that there IS a day when more learner drivers seemingly pass a driving test compared to others. According to the poll, more drivers passed their test on a Wednesday compared to other days of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you think that you need a bit of luck passing your driving test, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book-practical-test\">book it to take on a Wednesday<\/a>. Thortful.com\u2019s survey reveals that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>19 percent passed a driving test on a Wednesday<\/li><li>18 percent passed on a Tuesday<\/li><li>17 percent passed on a Thursday<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Time Slot to Pass a Driving Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s not just the day that helps you to pass a driving test. According to the survey, the time slot is important too. Thortful.com\u2019s research found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>26 percent of learner drivers passed a test in the 10 \u2013 11am slot<\/li><li>17 percent were successful in the 9 \u2013 10am slot<\/li><li>12 percent earned a pass certificate in the 11am \u2013 12 noon slot<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most driving tests in the UK have now resumed, but look very different to what they were prior to the coronavirus outbreak. There is currently a huge backlog as the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) scrambles to schedule new appointments for all those who had their driving test cancelled amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, if you hadn\u2019t booked prior to COVID-19, you will have to wait a while longer to pass a driving test as new bookings currently aren\u2019t being accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Driving Test Changes COVID-19<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/blog\/driving-theory-test-2020\/\">Coronavirus has meant that some aspects of the driving test have had to be changed<\/a>. Candidates will be required to wear face masks, but there are exemptions. For example if you suffer with asthma, you won\u2019t be required to wear a face covering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major changes is that the duration of your driving test will be cut short if you commit a serious offence or dangerous fault that results in test failure. Rather than continuing your test for the full duration, you will immediately be directed back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/?page=find\">test centre<\/a>. This is to minimise the amount of time that you\u2019re in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Need to Reschedule Your Driving Test?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re practical driving test or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book-theory-test\/skip\">theory test<\/a> was cancelled because of COVID-19, we can rebook on your behalf. Rather than you having to sit around waiting for a cancellation or trying to secure a time slot during your hectic schedule, we take care of everything for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We can help you book a practical driving test sooner rather than later. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book-practical-test\">Book now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With coronavirus forcing nearly 500,000 driving tests to be cancelled or rescheduled, many will be eager to pass their test now that practical exams have resumed.
