Halifax proves the most challenging at 44.7% compared to Huddersfield's stronger 48.4%, with 19,414 tests total across three centres from 2024 to 2025. The Pennine landscape creates steep hill starts, narrow stone-walled roads, and challenging weather conditions that test driving skills year-round. Men achieved slightly higher rates at Heckmondwike and Halifax (around 49% and 45%) while performance gaps were minimal at Huddersfield, and automatic drivers managed similar rates of 43-44% across all centres regardless of the hilly terrain.
