Hull Test Centres and Pass Rates
Hull's single centre managed 45.2% from 9,439 tests between 2024 and 2025, sitting below the national average. Gender differences were minimal with men at 45.5% and women at 44.8%, while automatic drivers achieved 40.1%. The industrial port city layout creates challenges around the busy dock areas, confusing one-way systems through the city centre, and approaches via the A63 that demand confidence with faster dual carriageway driving mixed with complex urban navigation.
