Southport's impressive 59.2% pass rate contrasts sharply with Blackpool's 49.6%, despite both serving the same catchment area of 13,502 tests between 2024 and 2025. Southport's elegant Victorian street grid and seafront boulevards provide more predictable driving conditions than Blackpool's tourist-heavy promenade with its trams, seasonal traffic, and complex one-way systems around the Tower area. Automatic drivers performed exceptionally well at Southport with 58.5% success compared to 47.3% at Blackpool. Women scored 58.8% and 49.4% respectively, while men achieved 59.6% and 49.7%.
