The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. L&T (Fitzwilliam) sees moderate volume: 9.1K practical tests through 2017-18-2024-25. Year-on-year percentages here are meaningful, but watch the trend line rather than fixating on any single period.

DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for L&T (Fitzwilliam) in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

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 L&T (Fitzwilliam)

  • Above-average pass rate at L&T (Fitzwilliam) 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.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the L&T (Fitzwilliam) area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at L&T (Fitzwilliam), cancellations appear on the official DVSA booking service throughout the day. Check at off-peak times (early morning, late evening) for the best chance of catching one.
