Hi,

What do you think the most common reasons are for failing a driving test?

Blind spots and mirror checks would be my guess,

have you taken yours?

John

mirrors, hesitation......

I've got mine next wednesday mate, Need some tips... . I will have had about 33 hours driving with my instuctor and about 12 hours with L Plates on.

Most common reason: nerves...

Relax, remember what you have been taught and you'll do good

examiners being twats

examiners being twats

Sounds about right :-D.

not being able to drive?

Other drivers being on the road

i think I'm an exception to the rule, i ran a red light becaue i wasnt concentrating properly it was only 2 mins away from the end of the test and the test centre :(

just remember you are only human you will make mistakes so if you do just try and correct it in a calm, controlled manner and if you have that many hours under your belt you should be a very sufficiently able driver, i did 22hours with ym driving instructor, none in my car and passed easy the second time, should have got it the first, just lost concentration

Being shit.

I can vouch for that.

are you mad?

"i ran a red light becaue i wasnt concentrating properly it was only 2 mins away from the end of the test and the test centre"

that is a classic line!

so when you run this red light and a school bus of kids ploughs into the side of you, is this when you correct it in a calm, controlled manner?

"should have got it the first, just lost concentration"

is very similar to

"shouldnt have died in that horrific crash, just lost concentration"

^ Well said. Just be aware of your surroundings. Its better to think your not actually doing a test if you know what I mean, imaging your with your instructor on a normal day!

Good luck with it!

Observations

Other drivers on the road doing stupid things

Just think if i fail i fail i can take another test !

its the best thing as it helps u to relax , my girlfriend thought she had failed and then she passed first time !

Dont worry i was reading somewhere that people that pass second time are statistically better drivers

i only just ran the red though like literally it changed to red just as i was about to go over the line, and seeing as it was too late to brake and if you stop in a junction box its a fail. mm retarded i know the exact thoughts going through my mind at the time were something along the lines of "shit, that was retarded, congratulations youve just failed you dickhead"

and the calm and controlled manner would be in referance to things like stalling, i.e. dont panic and just restart and pull away smoothly.

surely the examiner would have duel controlled you?

or wasnt he concentrating either?

according to the instructor i had, examiners are only allowed to pass a certain amount of people per month.

your in a hole stop digging lol

Lights go from green, amber, then red, if you are going too fast to be able to stop in a calm controlled manner, its a fail, you shouldnt be given a license...

Girls not giving the examiners good enough head!!!

Sometimes i wish i wer an examiner

nerves and undue hesitation.

Fat Van Drivers

Stupid cyclists and examiners giving directions too late

Just think if i fail i fail i can take another test !

What about people that pass on the 3rd attempt? lol.

Mirrors and general observation is the biggest failer i think.
