Girona province remained among the Spanish areas with the lowest practical driving test pass rates in 2025, according to figures from the Directorate General of Traffic, or DGT. The province recorded 8,993 passes and 9,830 failures, which works out at a 48% approval rate.
That is a small improvement on 2024, when Girona ended the year with a 46% pass rate. Even so, the province still sits near the bottom of the national ranking, with fewer than half of candidates passing the practical exam.
The practical test is the road driving exam that learner drivers must pass to obtain a licence. The DGT data points to a persistent gap between Girona and the national average, although the figures alone do not explain why the province continues to lag behind other parts of Spain.
Possible factors could include local road conditions, examiner standards, or the level of preparation among candidates, but the article does not provide evidence for any single cause. For official context, readers can check the DGT and its published traffic data.
