This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Doesn't that depend on how hard the exams are? Setting exams with a low pass mark is standard in universities because they are not interested in differentiating between people who don't meet the required standard. The purpose of the exam is to see who is genuinely outstanding and who is simply competent. The most effective way of doing that is a tough exam with a low pass mark.

Driving tests are different as there is no need for anything other than a pass/fail outcome. So, the DVLA decide on the basic level of competence required, test that, and make the pass mark high.
