This is for people learning from a person with a driving instruction license, not a driving school (where I believe the passing rates are a bit higher). It turns out that people who give driving lessons for a living are better at it than your average parent.
No the fail rate is 60%
Finnish driving schools have changed driving lessons so that there are about 50% less driving lessons.
That is just business. If they fail they need to come back and pay again. They are also pretty strict so you fail easily. Of course many don’t drive that good at that point
You have to pay to retake the test. It’s business.
Where did you get this? Source pls.
There are less mandatory theory and driving lessons than before, bit I guess the test requirements are still same.
If they can think of a reason to fail you they can assign you extra driving lessons and the driving instructor -company makes more money.
Dude this is not the statistics you think it is.
It just tells the share of licences passed by those who were taught at home i.e. they didn’t go to an actual driving school.
The local inspectors here in turku (not sure if the ones have retired already) like to take people to very obscure and niche places where unless you specifically know about it, you can’t do it *technically correct*. They like to take you to places like where there is a parking square to your right within 5 metres of a crossing (In Turku the 7th district is a common one). in which you need to basically slow down to crawl to check. Or they take you to areas which are technically yards where you are limited to 20 km/h (Turku cathedral region).
Basically they take you to places which you technically should know, but you can only fluently operate in with experience.
The success rate has gone up because they reduced the bar to pass, and use of simulators have gotten more common. Meaning that people can practice more technical aspects of driving.
In Sweden (where I live) the average test time is 4 times before success. I don’t have a graph, but that is ALOT in my opinion. I took my driver’s license in Finland 20 years ago, and passed on the first attempt. I didn’t do so well, but the instructor said it’s clear that I am a careful driver and that nobody is perfect when they are 18. When my wife tried last year to take a test here in Sweden, they failed her because she was too nervous they said. Then they said she was driving too carefully. And the last time they said they thought she was a little bit reckless. She drives much better than I did when I took it. It seems harder nowadays.
