It’s a question that crops up regularly from pupils approaching their driving test, and an area that most of the general public have a view on, but where is an evidence to support such a view?
My personal view is that in this day and age, where public information is freely available and jounalists seeming to be able to infultrate even the most high powered of area of our country, I cannot believe that if the DSA were somehow able to control the number of passes or indeed the number of fails during the driving test, that we would not have heard about it with facts to back it up!
I think that it’s easier for both pupils and instructors to believe there is some conspiracy, rather than facing the fact that the pupil was just not good enough on the day.
How much easier for the pupil to go home and tell all their friends that they only failed because it was Friday afternoon when they took their test and that the examiner had to fail so many pupils that week, rather than explain, it was done to their own fault that the examiner had to fail them!

Absolutely yes because they are the one whose responsible for acquiring licenses and this all matters for the safety of the driver that he or she knows the rules and regulation specially have a complete training and test enable to pass the driving skills he or she wants to have.

Very good explanation, why pupil who fail like to think in term of DSA pass quota for that day was already filled so they had to fail me.

It is an interesting conspiracy and one which springs to mind when one encounters some poor driving on the roads - we wonder if perhaps they were a lucky ‘guaranteed’ pass and that really they could have done with a few more lessons!
It is most likley a conspiracy though, as Newr Driver states it can make it easier to cope with a fail if you think of it as a problem with statistics, rather than your own fault. If this helps them not lose confidence then it seems a fairly safe conspiracy to me.

For me its yes. because they are the one who is responsible for giving license,safety of the drivers, and they also have the rules and regulation to follow.
