Tipperary driving test pass rate below average


Pass rates at Tipperary's four driving test centres are below the national average.

Nenagh has the poorest pass rate in the county at 44.56%.

Thurles is next at 46.83, then Tipperary Town at 47.55 with Clonmel having the best pass rate in the county at 52.31%.

The national average is 54.56% according to a report in the Irish Independent.

The driver testing centre in Ennis has the best pass rate in the country at nearly 68% while Kilkenny recorded the worst figure at less than 40%.

The RSA has defended the figures – saying they are in line with other countries and depend on the number of people tested which can vary greatly between test centres.
