Buckinghamshire Test Centres and Pass Rates

High Wycombe and Leighton Buzzard both achieved 51.0%, benefiting from better balanced routes between town centres and quieter suburban areas. The M25 and M40 corridor creates challenging dual carriageway conditions that test motorway confidence. Women's performance ranges from 37.0% to 48.3%, men from 43.0% to 53.9%, while automatic rates vary from 37.8% to 46.2% depending largely on traffic density and road complexity.
