It’s only natural that you would feel nervous about passing a driving test; clammy palms and shaking knees, probably. It might seem daunting but experts have shortlisted a few common mistakes that can get you to fail the test. Not to worry anymore, because we are listing those mistakes here so you know what not to do to pass your test!
It is the small mistakes that can get you down and here are those listed:
Signalling
It is not enough to just flick the indicator before you turn your vehicle, you must indicate your turn a little before you make the turn. Most people often forget the signal before turning or taking their car from the parking lot. This is enough to fail the test if you do not pay enough attention.
Checking the Mirrors
It is important to check all three mirrors at regular intervals to be a safe driver. This is a pretty common thing that testing officers look for when taking tests. So don’t forget to check all three mirrors!
When you make your turns as well as change lanes, you must always check the side mirror to cover your blind spots to avoid accidents.
Traffic Signs and Pedestrian Crossing
Remember to read all relevant signs around you when you are at crossroads. Always stop within the line to let people cross. At a pedestrian crossing, do not forget to check if there are any pedestrians before you roll past it in your vehicle.
Safe distance
While driving, you are expected to maintain a safe distance that enables you to not bump into the vehicle in front in case they have to brake suddenly. Police Officers are very particular about this during a driving test and this practice can prevent future liabilities.
