Why are driving test pass rates so low?

Figures reveal that only 53% of Irish people who take their driving test for the first time, pass it.

Waterford driving instructor Richie Roberts believes that misleading information or people not reading enough information ahead of their driving test is largely to blame.

He says also some people are advised by their driving instructor that they're not ready to take their test - but go ahead regardless!

He spoke about the issue to Damien Tiernan on WLR this morning (Tuesday).
