Tips on passing your driving test as rates reach three-year high

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

"Britain's driving test pass rate has reached its highest level in more than three years, suggesting more learners are heeding calls to take a test only when they are ready. Some 50.7% of tests conducted in August were successful, according to Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) statistics. That is up from 50.1% during the previous month, and was the best performance since May 2021 when the pass rate was 51.9%."

The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries while keeping content free of paywalls. The outlet emphasizes sending journalists to speak to both sides and making quality journalism available to all, funded by those who can afford it. Britain's driving test pass rate increased to 50.7% in August, the best since May 2021, with 145,610 tests conducted and future tests booked at 644,398. The DVSA attributes the backlog to increased demand and some people booking tests prematurely.
