The 45.6% county car figure is 3.1 pp below the 48.7% UK car number (2024-25 DVSA data), which makes Fife tougher than average on the headline measure.

The headline spread within Fife sits between Kirkcaldy (47.5%) at the top of the league and Dunfermline (Vine) (43.3%) at the bottom, a gap of 4.2 percentage points. Rural Scottish and Welsh routes typically include fewer junction-controlled signals than English urban centres, which feeds through to higher pass rates.
