Common Driving Test Fails
The most frequent faults seen during the practical driving test. These faults often occur when a driver fails to observe effectively, does not use mirrors correctly, or carries out a manoeuvre without sufficient control or planning.
Candidates must demonstrate that they can drive safely, legally, and independently, without causing other road users to change speed, direction, or take avoiding action. Consistent observation, correct mirror use, and good control of the vehicle are essential throughout the test.
