A spokesman for Collingwood Insurance Services, who collected the data, said: “Learners should choose the time and date of their driving test with caution, as our study has revealed that different times and days of the week have completely different pass rates on average.
“After analysing DVSA data for 2021, we found that between 5pm and 6pm on a Monday is the best time to pass your test.”
A previous study found that the best place to pass your driving test was the Welsh coastal town of Pwllheli – where 86 per cent of those taking a test ace it.
Of the UK’s 380 driving test centres, the worst pass rate was found to be at Erith, South East London, with just a 32 per cent success rate.
