[Turing Data Story] UK driving test statistics

[crangelsmith]

Story description

Please provide a high level description of the Turing Data Story
Lunch conversation about driving test passing rates with @edwardchalstrey1 @acocac @Turing-EveChan @mhauru. There is quite a detailed dataset on this provided by ukgov. A data story on this data could be interesting.

Which datasets will you be using in this Turing Data Story?

Ethical guideline

Ideally a Turing Data Story has these properties and follows the 5 safes framework.

• The analysis you produce is openly available and reproducible.
• Any data used are open and have an explicit licence, provenance and attribution.
• Any data used are not personal data (i.e. the data is anonymous or anonymised).
• Any linkage of datasets in your data story does not lead to an increased risk of the personal identification of individuals.
• The Story must be truthful and clear about any limitations of analysis (and potential biases in data).
• The Story will not lead to negative social outcomes, such as (but not limited to) increasing discrimination or injustice.

Current status

• Scoping of the story
• Write story outline
• Add material to the story notebook
• Combine materials into a readable story
• Proofread
• Request reviews
• Address reviews
• Merge to master branch.

Apparently a lot of people are finding it difficult right now to pass their test because there is a backlog of driving test appointments caused by covid that still hasn't been resolved
