Two of these four are our own arithmetic over the released rows rather than figures the release states, and their source line says so.

What this part of the site does

Two plain jobs. Put the figures that are already public on one page with the record they came from and the date we checked them, and say clearly what we do not have.

One release is published so far: 65 Ontario rows covering the 2022 data year, with 65 centre pages built from them and one study that reads them against the auditor general. The middle centre in that release sits at 73.31%, a figure we work out from the rows rather than quote, because the release does not agree with itself about its own provincial average. That is a small body of data and we are not going to dress it up as more than it is. It grows when a new public release appears, not before.

None of it is scraped. Booking systems are not a data source here, they are somebody else's service, and the practice of hammering them is a subject we write about rather than a habit we join.

The datasets

Data we do not hold

  • British Columbia road test results by office

    ICBC does not publish per office results. A set was released once under British Columbia freedom of information law and written about in the press, and that is the only public figure anyone has. There is nothing here yet and we are not going to imply otherwise.

    Not available. ICBC does not publish it.

  • Waiting times by test centre

    Reported by the people who book, with the trend over time. We will not scrape a booking system to get it: both of the big operators fight automated access, and the point of this site is to hold the high ground on that.

    Not started. It would need a data source we are not willing to take.

The records behind the published figures

Each of these is a public record, except the last, which names arithmetic we do ourselves over rows that already carry one. The verified date is when we last read the figure off it.
