Giving the right response to traffic lights is something that catches people out. It’ll be marked as a fault if you attempt to move off without doing so. Using your mirrors to check for other road users is essential. Also, watch out for cyclists and motorcyclists, and any pedestrians crossing the road. When you’re turning right, position your vehicle correctly – it should not cut the corner when turning right. Things like mounting and dismounting the kerb, and not following the contour of the kerb results in faults in this area. You need to be able to maintain a steady course in normal driving. Remember that you need to use your rear-view mirror and wing mirrors – and react to the information they’re giving you! People get caught out for changing direction and pulling up with no mirror checks, increasing their speed with no mirror checks, or using their mirrors too late. Always make sure it’s safe before proceeding. You’ll be marked with this fault for not taking effective observation before emerging at junctions and emerging into the path of other vehicles. Here are the most common faults made during driving tests between 4 December 2017 and 3 December 2018. So, we thought it would be a good idea if we asked our colleagues at DVSA to reveal the top driving test faults made in the first year of the new test.
Since then, the practical test has changed to include following directions from a sat nav and testing different manoeuvres. A couple of years ago we posted a blog about the ‘top 10’ reasons people fail their driving tests.
