Workington Test Centres and Pass Rates
Automatic learners had a 35.7% pass rate in Workington, noticeably below the centre's overall 48.3%. This Cumbrian test centre saw 3,015 tests from 2024 to 2025, with the challenging Lake District approach roads and steep hills around the town making clutch control and hill starts particularly important for manual drivers. Women achieved a 49.2% pass rate compared to men at 47.6%. The narrow streets leading down to the harbour area and the busy A596 coastal road can be tricky for new drivers to master.
