Dorchester achieved an impressive 66.7% pass rate compared to Poole's more challenging 48.4% across the two centres serving this area. The 14,200 tests taken between 2024 and 2025 were split between Dorset's varied driving conditions. Dorchester benefits from quieter market town roads with straightforward layouts, while Poole presents the challenges of a busy port town with complex harbour-side roads, tourist traffic, and the notorious Holes Bay road system with its multiple roundabouts. Men slightly outperformed women at both centres - 67.6% vs 65.7% at Dorchester and 50.3% vs 46.5% at Poole. Automatic drivers achieved 60.3% at Dorchester but only 42.2% at Poole.
