In response topreviously announced short-term resourcing pressures, the original publication date for the Driver and Rider Testing Statistics, Great Britain: April to June 2024 had been postponed to December 2024.

Given the delay in publishing these data and the impending scheduled release of the subsequent July to September 2024 data, the Department has decided to publish both quarters of data, covering April to September, in this release. This is in order to meet its obligations under the Code of Practice for Statistics to publish data as soon as possible to prevent delay to users. This edition of Driver and Rider Testing Statistics therefore supersedes the April to June 2024 release however all data related to that period is published as normal in the tables accompanying this release.

In line withprevious announcements regarding the future of this publication, this will be the last time these data are published by DfT. Subsequent reporting of these data will be picked up in an alternative format by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency who will assume responsibility for publishing numbers and pass rates for driving and riding theory and practical tests conducted and data on instructors in Great Britain, going forwards on a quarterly basis. The next publication of this data will be available in March 2025.
