By Amelia WadeAnyone looking to sit their restricted drivers licence test in Lower Hutt better know their stuff - it has the lowest pass rate in the country with two thirds flunking. But the New Zealand Transport Agency says just because a site has a low or high pass rate, hopefuls weren't more or less likely to fail. According to the agency's data, last year 60 per cent of people who sat their restricted test passed and 70 per cent of those attempting to get their full licence also passed. In 2012 a more difficult restricted licence practical test was introduced. The national pass rate then was 40 per cent but that has now climbed to 60 per cent.
