Hitchin Test Centres and Pass Rates
Automatic drivers struggled across all three centres, with rates between 34.9% at Stevenage and 54.9% at Letchworth from 17,544 total tests. Letchworth clearly offers the best chance at 58.3%, while Luton's 40.1% reflects its challenging urban environment with busy Dunstable Road, complex motorway approaches to the M1, and dense residential areas. Women and men showed minimal differences at most centres, and the contrast between Letchworth's garden city layout and Luton's industrial sprawl explains much of the pass rate variation.
