We publish statistics about car practical driving tests that were passed on the first attempt, by test centre; these can be found on our website at Car driving test data by test centre. This information is therefore exempt under section 21 (information accessible by other means) of the FoIA. A full explanation of this exemption can be found attached at Annex A.

The number of people in Norfolk who attend a pass plus course within one year of passing their test.

6. Response

We do not hold this information.
