Driving and riding tests: extra data

Summary

The data published here is to accompany the Driving & Riding Test and Instructor Statistics releases (http://www.dft.gov.uk/statistics/series/driving-tests-and-instructors/).

Links are provided to the test centre result files (which are 'operational' statistics, rather than Official Statistics) and ethnicity data.

The ethnicity data should be used with extreme caution. The information is voluntarily provided by test candidates and over 70 per cent of candidates do not declare any ethnicity at all. The data are therefore subject to self-selection and self-reporting biases and it is likely that the figures do not accurately represent the true ethnicity breakdown of test candidates. The data are being provided for information only and are not classified as an Official Statistic.
