In 2023, according to data from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, 39.9% of Italians who took the theory exam to obtain a B license failed the test, a figure up from 29.8% in 2020. Lazio (44%), Tuscany (42.9%) and Trentino Alto-Adige (42.8%) are the regions with the highest rate of failures. But what would happen if drivers who have held their B license for more than 5 years were to retake the theory test today? According to the simulation conducted by AutoScout24 and Egaf editions, together with major Italian driving school associations Confarca and Unasca, only 22.3% of Italians would pass the exam outright today. Among regions, this ranges from 6.9% of those passing in Molise to 28% in Emilia-Romagna and 31.7% in Lazio. The figure highlights the importance of making constant updates even after obtaining a driver's license, given the constant changes to the Highway Code that have occurred in recent years.
