Whitstable Test Centres and Pass Rates
Weston-super-Mare stands alone with an excellent 56.5% pass rate from 5,807 tests between 2024 and 2025, well above the national average. The Somerset seaside town's seafront roads and quieter residential areas provide less stressful test conditions than many urban centres, though the summer tourist traffic can add complexity. Men achieved 57.3% compared to women's 55.5%, while automatic drivers managed a solid 50.5% pass rate - the relatively calm road network seems to suit both transmission types well.
