About this test centre

Halifax sits in Halifax, West Yorkshire, just inside the HX1 1TH postcode. It's a DVSA-run motorcycle module 2 test centre, and the routes from here work outward into the streets and arterial roads that learners from Halifax tend to know already. Volume here sits at 1.5K over 2011-12-2019-20. That's the territory where a noisy quarter can shift the rate by two or three percentage points, so read the trend chart in context rather than reacting to any single bar.

70.7% at Halifax, against a UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%. That puts the centre 1.5 points below the national figure and ranks it #92 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA's network. First-attempt data for Halifax is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.

What learners should know about Halifax

  • Pass rate at Halifax sits close to the UK average. Prepare for an ordinary level of difficulty: examiners apply the standard DVSA marking sheet, and the routes are a representative mix of local conditions.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Halifax area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
Before you drive off

Whether you pass at Halifax is not decided by the centre. It is decided by the 15 things an examiner can mark you on, and response, traffic signs is one of the ones that ends attempts early.

DVSA publishes all 21 vehicle safety questions in advance, 14 tell me and 7 show me. You get 2 of them on the day, one at the roadside and one while you are driving. Get one wrong or both wrong and it counts as one driving fault, not two.

Show me, tell me questionsIs that a fault?Test day readiness check

Drive your local test routes specifically scanning for signs. Have the instructor cover unusual signs on country roads (national speed limit on single carriageway = 60 mph, not 70). Free to use, no sign up. Everything for the day itself is on the practical test hub.
