Driving test success rate by regions

Stuff has details of the success rate for passing the restricted licence test by region. In order they are:

1. Otago/Southland 69%
2. Nelson/Marlborough/Tasman 65%
3. Northland 65%
4. Waikato/BoP 59%
5. Manawatu/Wanganui 57%
6. Gisborne/Hawkes Bay 56%
7. Canterbury/West Coast 55%
8. Wellington/Wairarapa 54%
9. Auckland 49%
10. Taranaki 48%

Interesting that there is such a large variation.

I’m not sure if they record this, but it would be interesting to also see the data broken down by age, gender and ethnicity. I suspect females have a higher pass rate, but could be wrong.
