Statistical data set: Driving test statistics (DRT)

Published: 06 December 2023
By Chris Haycock

On 6 December 2023, tables DRT1101 and DRT1201 were revised to correct a small proportion of theory test data due to a processing error which had affected a few figures in April to June 2023.

DRT1203 is currently missing a small proportion (less than 0.1%) of car theory test data due to a processing error. This will be corrected as soon as possible.

The format of the DRT spreadsheet tables that accompany this release have been changed to make them more accessible for our users.

A table index for this statistical series has been created to provide a full map between the old and new numbering systems used in this page.

Full details of these changes can be found in the financial year 2022 to 2023 release.
