About Hertfordshire

Across Hertfordshire, 8 DVSA test centres serve learners between Baldock, Welwyn and Hockerill. The county's 579.3K recorded car tests put it among the larger sub-regional networks in England, and the volume-weighted current pass rate sits at 50.7% (UK average 48.7%).

On the 2.0 pp above the UK comparison (2024-25 DVSA data), Hertfordshire looks kinder than the UK average on paper. Pass rates within the county aren't uniform though, and the spread between the easiest and hardest centre tells the real story. Plenty of candidates travel to a neighbouring centre to find a route that suits them better.

The headline spread within Hertfordshire sits between Letchworth (80.4%) at the top of the league and Stevenage (44.9%) at the bottom, a gap of 35.5 percentage points. Spreads of 10 to 15 percentage points within a single county are common, the route a centre uses matters far more than the county boundary.
