While the pass rates for automatic driving tests are indeed lower than manual, it certainly doesn’t mean that you have a better chance of passing if you take the manual driving test.
The likely biggest factor for this result is that the majority of candidates taking the automatic driving test are mainly based in and around large towns and cities where overall pass rates are lower compared to other locations. If those taking the automatic test were as evenly spread across the country as those taking the manual test, pass rates would be more equal, or perhaps automatic pass rates would be higher.
I wood lik to pass on automatic pl am just faild theory test that it am faild 44 tim
Hi Khaim,
Did you say you failed the theory test 44 times?
I’ve been learning to drive for five years only had one test failed cause I put it in reverse I have to pass my theory test for a third time and I’m thinking may be going automatic would be easier.
Hi Ian
To be honest, most new cars are now automatic and are filtering down through the second hand market very widely. Add to that, as fossil fuel cars are being phased out in favour of electric cars, the days of the manual transmission are limited. Unless manual is really your thing, then I see little point in it.
