International Driving Licence holders need to wake up!

The statistics don't lie. Our Driver Testing is harder and it's for a VERY good reason.

It is a well known fact within the professions of Driving Instruction and Driver Testing that the standard of International Driving Licence holders applying and putting themselves forwards for Driver Testing is well below what should be expected.

Far too many are simply passing the Theory Testing and applying instantly for the Practical Test giving consideration only to the fact that they can drive a car when Driver Testing in Northern Ireland is about the safe standard at which you drive.

Driver Testing Internationally comes in various shapes and sizes but the standards set by each country in most cases are lacking.

We have taken the time to gather up data for the countries that we encounter the most during phone calls, emails and whatsapps to Vrooom Driving Lessons and highlighted them above to illustrate the levels of road deaths per country in red. In Northern Ireland, because of our rigorous testing standards, our road deaths are below 3%. If you think that passing a sub-standard test is good enough for the roads of Northern Ireland you are very much mistaken.

As an example look at the test pass rates for each driving test centre in Northern Ireland here: https://www.vrooomdrivinglessons.co.uk/post/what-s-the-truth-of-ni-test-centre-pass-rates

The reason for such low numbers?

Have a guess?

It's not those people who have taken proper training that make up the majority of the fail rate!
