About this test centre

Drivers booked at Kings Lynn report to a DVSA centre in King's Lynn, Norfolk, postcode PE30 1BJ. The motorcycle module 2 routes used here are drawn from the streets the centre's examiners drive every week, so the test reflects local conditions rather than a generic syllabus. Kings Lynn is a smaller centre by volume, 4.9K tests through 2017-18-2024-25. The figures hold up for headline comparisons but lose granularity once you slice them by quarter.

By raw pass rate Kings Lynn sits at 77.9%, with the DVSA's national motorcycle module 2 average over the same window running at 72.2%. The gap (5.7 points clear of the UK figure) places the centre at rank #42 of 135, inside the upper half of the country's motorcycle module 2 test centres. First-attempt data for Kings Lynn 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 Kings Lynn

  • Above-average pass rate at Kings Lynn doesn't mean above-average ease. The fundamentals examiners mark are the same nationally: junctions, mirrors, observation, signal timing. A 65%+ pass rate means more candidates clear those, not that the bar is lower.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in King's Lynn will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • Book through the official DVSA service (gov.uk/book-driving-test). Third-party "fast-track" sites charge a premium for the same booking; the official DVSA booking service is free.
