Top 10 Reasons People Fail Their Test

Failing to properly look and judge before entering a new road — the single most common reason people fail.

Skipping the mirror-signal-manoeuvre routine, especially when changing lanes or exiting roundabouts.

Pulling out from the side of the road, a hill, or behind a parked car without adequate checks.

Positioning too far to the left when waiting to turn right, blocking traffic unnecessarily.

Running red lights, blocking junctions on green, or not moving when it's safe to do so.

Under- or over-steering through bends, junctions and when pulling up — causing the car to drift.

Ignoring lane arrows, box junctions, double white lines and roundabout markings.

Missing or ignoring signs — from 'Stop' and 'No Entry' to speed limits and bus lane restrictions.

Drifting too close to the kerb or centre line rather than staying in the middle of your lane.

Stalling, rolling back on hills, or moving off jerkily — losing control of the car when setting off.
