Driving test attempts in Scarborough
Dear Driving Standards Agency,
Could you please disclose the number of Driving tests (practical and theory) in Scarborough last year.
Could you also split these numbers my gender.
Also, can you please disclose the higest number of tests (again practical and theory) taken by one person, without passing. Also, can you disclose an approximate cost for how much this would have cost each individual.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Johnson,

Dear Mr Johnson
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
I refer to our previous conversations and my reply to your Freedom of
Information request about theory and practical tests at Scarborough.
In one of our earlier conversations, we discussed the amount it would have
cost each individual that took the greatest number of attempts at the
theory and practical tests. It was agreed that I would provide you with a
link to the Directgov website where you can find the current test fees.
You can find this information online at
[2]http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Lea...
I’m sorry for not providing you with this link sooner.
Please bear in mind that the candidates who took the greatest number of
attempts at the theory and practical tests may have took some of their
tests when the test fee was lower.
If you have any queries about this email, please do not hesitate to
contact me on the details as above. Please remember to quote the
reference number above in any future communications.
Yours sincerely
