The standout performer here is Farnborough at 58.3%, significantly better than Guildford's 51.8% among the 13,073 total tests between 2024 and 2025. Farnborough benefits from the military town's well-maintained road network and clearer signage, while Guildford presents the typical county town challenges of narrow High Street approaches and the challenging A3 Guildford bypass with its lane changes and slip roads. Men achieved 60.8% at Farnborough compared to women's 55.6%. Automatic learners did well at both centres, reaching 52.9% at Farnborough and 45.3% at Guildford, suggesting the dual carriageway sections favor automatic transmission.
