Test Tips - Taking your Test


The ten most common reasons for failing driving tests are:


1) Observation at junctions - ineffective observation and judgment

2) Reverse parking - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

3) Use of mirrors - not checking or not acting on the information

4) Reversing around a corner - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

5) Incorrect use of signals – not cancelling or giving misleading signals

6) Moving away safely - ineffective observation

7) Incorrect positioning on the road - at roundabouts or on bends

8) Lack of steering control - steering too early or leaving it too late

9) Incorrect positioning to turn right - at junctions and in one way streets

10) Inappropriate speed - travelling too slowly or being hesitant
