There are many reasons why people fail driving test. Here we break down the top ten and make it as local as possible covering Newcastle and Cobridge area.
1. Observations at junctions
Observation at junctions ( roundabouts are junction as well). Always make sure you take effective observation before you move out (emerge), if you make anyone slow down swerve or stop then you will be looking at a fail.
2. Moving off safely
When you move off from the side of the road, you need effective observation signal if needed and a blind spot check. So lets break this down what is effective observation Signal do I always need to signal. Blindspot what is it.
3. Use of mirrors
When should you check your mirrors? Is it every 10 seconds should I exaggerate to impress the examiner. These are some of the things many people learning to drive think. First lets start with the differences between the mirrors.
When should I check my mirrors?
There are three basic catogergories when you should check your mirrors.
Speed
Changing Postion
Before you Signal
Remember that you need to use your rear view mirror and wing mirrors – and react to the information! People get caught out for pulling up with no mirror checks, increasing their speed with no mirror checks, or using their mirrors too late.
4. Reverse parking
In the driving test, you can be asked to either do a parallel park on the road, or reverse into a parking bay at the test centre. You do not get the reversing into the bay at Cobridge Driving Test Centre.
You will get a fault if you have to reposition but a complete misjudged park will result in a fail.
Watch our instructors demonstrate both reverse parks.
