In the survey, carried out by commercial vehicle dealers Van Monster, 2000 people were asked 15 theory test questions how they would do in comparison to the national base pass mark of 86%.

The survey was carried out after a Department for Transport report revealed only 47% of provisional drivers passed the theory test over the last 12 months.
