The vehicle service and tyre fitter ATS Euromaster have revealed that 99 percent of UK motorists would fail their driving theory test if they needed to sit it again.<\/p>\n
The study, in which 1,010 motorists were quizzed, found that only one in 124 drivers would pass the test, which is a key requirement of gaining a driving licence.<\/p>\n
Paul Maynard, technical training manager at ATS Euromaster, highlighted the importance of knowing the rules of the road.<\/p>\n
He explained: \u201cWith qualified drivers only able to answer around one in three questions on the theory test correctly, this shows a knowledge gap with the UK\u2019s current drivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaws change constantly, so it\u2019s worth taking the time to brush up on the highway code and make sure you\u2019re fully up to date.\u201d<\/p>\n
