DVSA - Ready to Pass ?

Today the DVSA launched ‘Ready to Pass?’, a campaign which aims to increase the pass rate for the driving test and bring waiting times down.

DVSA’s research also shows: 

1 in 10 people say the main reason they failed their test was because they were too nervous 1 in 5 people say the main reason they failed their test was because they made a silly mistake 1 in 5 people incorrectly thought they had failed because they were marked too harshly – showing they do not understand the standard that’s required to pass .

 ‘Ready to Pass?’ provides advice on: finding an approved driving instructor  how to monitor and check progress of your driving lessons and private practice when to take a mock test  how to manage your test day nerves - 1 in 10 of learners who fail their driving test say the main reason they failed was because they were too nervous. 

 It also includes a checklist that has all the things that learners should do before taking their driving test.  

To help communicate about the ‘Ready to Pass?’ campaign, the DVSA have produced a toolkit which includes information about the campaign and provides draft content and graphics to use on you own communication channels.  

Today we published a new blog post by Abigail Britten, Head of Recovery Communications, which tells you about the toolkit and how to use it.
