New figures should every centre in the midlands has a pass rate of 50% or greater.
An Offaly driving test centre has one of the highest pass rates in the country.
Four in five people who sit their test in a heavy goods vehicle in Birr pass, according to new figures from the RSA.
The standard vehicle pass rate in Birr is 59% - that's followed by 56% in Tullamore, 53% in Mullingar and 51% in Portlaoise.
Half of people pass their test in Athlone.
Michael Hogan of Hogan's School of Motoring, Portlaoise, says road safety should be made compulsory for secondary school students:
