ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE TESTED

IS TURNED DOWN

By A Special Correspondent

Over a million persons in Britain have been tested for their driving ability since April, 1935. Failures numbered 289,844; less than a dozen appealed to the Courts.

Up to the week ending May 21, I was told by Ministry of Transport officials yesterday, the 230-odd examiners in the 11 examination areas-about 30 of whom are women -had carried out 1,021,080 tests, leaving 54,333 in

arrears.

The number of applications during that week, 12,266, the highest ever recorded.

Owing to the especial care taken by the Ministry and the examiners that an applicant's record of failures shall not prejudice his chances of passing, no records are kept of the number of times any particular ap- plicant has taken the test.
