The magazine Capital has just published a ranking of the departments which display the strongest driving license pass rate. At the top, we find Eure, Yonne and Drôme. Two departments of Occitanie narrowly slip into their Top 10 (Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne), except that…

About a one in two chance among these poor students

On the side of the bad students, there is, in addition to Tarn-et-Garonne, Ariègewhich does not do better than 51.3% (3,415 candidates) and Aude (51.9% for 11,199 candidates).
