Drivers who are not exam-ready are being blamed for clogging up the system, along with a shortage of assessors across WA.
Steve Kolb, Driving Instructor at Drive Perth told Ian Blackley, filling in for Jo McManus that it's much cheaper and quicker to let your driving teaching assess you.
"We know whether you are going to pass or fail and then just don;t do a driving test because every time someone fails, it just adds to that queue," Mr Kolb said.
Figures released to WAtoday revealed the metro area’s busiest centre Kelmscott, also had the highest pass rate for students at 44.6 per cent.

The renowned Margaret River wine region features heavily in a new wine book that covers every aspect of Australia's best wine-growing regions.
Wine journalist Angus Hughson has just released a book he co-authored, The Wine Journal, charting the greatest wineries, regions and vintages in Australia.
"Margaret River just has an amazing climate, essentially, it has oceans on three sides and that means it never gets too warm and that cooling influence gives a beautiful vibrancy and energy to the wines, particularly the chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon," he told 6PR Afternoons host Jo McManus.
"Some wine books are just a bunch of tasting notes, we want to give people a journey ... so that they feel more comfortable talking about wine at their next dinner party."
The Wine Journal also looks at other wine regions outside of Australia, as drinkers become more interested in the international varieties and styles.

"It's a mixed culture out there, I'm a big believer - if you look at the way the world is going at the moment - that if we don't start communicating a lot together and making the right choices in life, we won't be going anywhere," said Michael, who grew up in Kojonup.

The CSIRO and Australian Sports Commission have released a report on the mistrust among elite athletes about increasingly detailed data collection.
The international sport data analytics market is worth $2.6 billion, raising the question of who owns the data?
Dr Peter Brukner, Professor of Sports Medicine at La Trobe University in Melbourne and former Australian Cricket team doctor told Jo McManus that there is no answer to that question.
"There is a massive amount of data being collected in all types of sports and that's just blown out in the last 10 years or so," he told Jo.
"The issue arises of who owns that data - if you're a professional football club and want to sell a player, who has access to that data? The potential purchaser? The player? It is an absolute minefield."

A beloved UK-born novelist who has written almost 40 books across a range of genres has written her first one set entirely in Australia.
International bestselling author Fiona McIntosh has just released the new historical drama novel, The Orphans, set in the bustling streets of a young Adelaide.
"This came about because we were all in lockdown a couple of years, as I work two years ahead with each novel, and I was sort of forced to look into my own backyard for a story," she told Jo McManus on 6PR Afternoons.
"I've actually lived here for 40 years ... I felt Australians, people like Tim Winton, are going to write about Australia so much better than this blow-in, so I was terrified to write an Australian story and get it wrong, or let people down, so I just stayed in my own playground."

Tomorrow is the first day of summer, which means more time being spent around water, but sadly it's when rates of drowning tend to increase.
Royal Life Saving Society Australia CEO Justin Scarr is urging everyone to make water safety awareness a key priority this summer after drownings increased by 15 on the previous year to 333, including 145 over summer.
"Last year was an absolute shocker, obviosuly on the east coast we had significant flooding... and in the wake of COVID, we were out and about more, enjoying our wonderful waterways," he told 6PR Afternoons host Jo McManus.
"But it's absolutely tragic that with that increase activity, came some really disturbing drowning events.

In 2017, 21-year-old Zac Jones' spiral of drug and alcohol addiction ended.
Why? He nearly killed his best mates in a car crash, leading to a two-year prison stint. It was there he penned 50 songs and, with the help of his mum, Jane (both pictured above), a book about his story and recovery, Why The Fallen.
"At that time in my life, I was a really bad drug addict, I would go as far as to say a junkie," he told Steve Mills on Millsy at Midday.
"I have to live with what I did for the rest of my life and I do feel an incredible amount of guilt and shame, and it's not lessened by the fact that I didn't kill anybody."

In part two of his interview with Steve Mills on Millsy at Midday, Hagdorn discusses how he is not surprised at Fremantle's rise back up the ladder after Ross Lyon's sacking.

An emotional Kim Hagdorn has returned to the 6PR studios to discuss his serious car accident in Roleystone in April 2020, when his car was hit by an oncoming vehicle head on in the hills, killing him almost for good.
A first responder Jim, a deep sea diver and instructor, gave Hagdorn CPR at the scene, while Jim's wife, an anesthetist, was on the phone to her husband, directing him what to do until ambulances arrived.
"There's so many people you'd like to thank ... but I wouldn't have survived had he not been there," the football expert and former 6PR sports broadcaster told Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills on Tuesday.
"Between the two of them they kept me going ... but I haven't wanted to know what happened."
Hagdorn flatlined three times but insists there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
"I experienced death... there's nothing out there, you just don't know that you're gone," he said.
'The light came I reckon four or five days later you know when your family, my wife Helen was there, and she's been amazing since.. you know, your kids, your son, your daughter. Great friends, there's been people by your bedside that just made sure they were there, even though I didn't want people to come in but some of them just said 'look I have to see you, you know, so'."
"But I don't remember the first four or five days at all, you know I had a bad concussion as well, a massive, a really big whopping carton on the head too."
The hospital experience was another eye-opener for the dogged journalist, who lost 20kg while recovering over 11 weeks in Royal Perth Hospital.
"Some of the traumatic circumstances I had with the heart troubles and the lungs, the clotting, and just a team of people just turn up with machines and buttons and buzzers ringing, there'd be a dozen or 15 people in your room, every one of them with some degree of expertise that they had to handle to keep this patient alive."

"I have some friends up and they say why do you talk about the negative all the time, and I said well I can't talk about the positive cos it wasn't the truth," Bazza said about Timber Creek's history and treatment of Indigenous people in the town.
Bazza predicted big things for Timber Creek in coming years, with millions of dollars being spent by the Australian Army on its Bradshaw Field Training Facility.

An article in The Conversation has delved into the pessimism that exists within heterosexual relationships.
"A friend introduces their partner as 'my current husband'. Another jokes about marriage as a life sentence. Everyone laughs, no one is surprised," the article reads.
"The sentiments at the heart of these asides are pervasive and familiar to many people in (or who have had) heterosexual relationships."
One of the article's authors, Dr Jennifer Mae Hamilton, is a senior lecturer in english literary studies at the University of New England in NSW, says the term for this negativity is “heteropessimism”, an attitude of disappointment, embarrassment or despair at the state of heterosexual relations – specifically about being in one.

Masks will be hanging around for a while but there’s good news for hospitality venues - from next Thursday 500 people will be allowed back inside pubs and clubs and standing service returns.
People heading to shopping centres won’t need to check in and at other places that don’t require proof of vaccination - while 45,000 fans can head to the round three western derby at Optus stadium.
The Premier says the decision to relax the restrictions from next week comes as the state's Omicron peak is expected today or in the coming days.
There was 8616 cases new cases overnight - with 209 people in hospital - 9 of those in intensive care and a woman in her 80’s has died.
The Premier admits cases will most likely remain in the thousands when restrictions are wound back, how long they’ll stay in place for will depend on hospitalisation figures over the coming months.
