Common Mistakes on the Driving Test - And How to Avoid Them 

Avoid big and tiny driving test mistakes that cost a lot of nerves.

Everybody who has a license passed it - the driving test. Some passed their first test, some passed their fifth. The common thing about everyone is that they made mistakes. For sure. There is no perfect driver, and as a result no perfect driving.

However, some mistakes repeat more than others. Examiners keep telling students about their mistakes, but with no hope - students still make the same old silly mistakes. Those mistakes are easy to avoid if you know what you do.

One big mistake is not making complete stops. Many students "roll" through the intersection without completely stopping at the limit line. This is more serious on right turns on red light. Many students forget to make a complete stop and just slow down, make sure traffic is clear, and continue. This is wrong and fails many students. Not to mention it is highly illegal, and when driving alone it can award the non-stopper with a big fine.

Another problem students have is lane changes. In theory, going from one lane to another is the easiest mission on earth: you signal, check that the area is clear, and move into the lane you want. For some people it is not very easy, and they often reach a situation of a near-accident. This, of course, is an automatic fail.

Lack of confidence and over-caution are two reasons that also fail many applicants. They tend to think that if they drive under the speed limit, they are safe. There is nothing further from the truth. Slow driving is a critical error, an error that means an automatic fail. Also, if the examiner tells a student too shy to take his turn on a stop sign what to do, the test is also over.

The key to avoid all these mistakes is practice. The old cliche, "Practice makes perfect", is the best advice for driving and learning to drive.

There are many guides showing you what to do and what not to do on your driving test. Pick your suitable guide: Pass Your Driving Test guides at Great-Info-Products.com.

Parallel Parking Mistakes During the Road Test 

See the common mistakes done during parallel parking

Parallel parking is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, skill to master for the driving test. It involves backing up, coordination, understanding the proper use of side mirrors, and precise distance estimation. When these don't join together well, a bad parking comes up, which sometimes lead to a bad test result.

One tiny mistake is not signaling before beginning to park. Before any parallel parking the student should signal to let other drivers know what he is doing. However, some students forget to signal. It is only a minor error, but it can make the difference between a pass and a fail.

Another mistake, much bigger, is wrong distance estimation. Instead of being close to the car the student parks behind, he stands far from it. This often leads the parking into a dead end, since he needs more parking space for that, and if there is also a car behind, the parking is doomed to fail.

Hitting the curb is a major mistake in many areas and an automatic test failure. When backing up, some students don't know when to turn their wheel, so they get too close to the curb. When they do turn the steering wheel it's already too late, and the car hits the curb. When this happens, the test is almost always a failure.

There is a more serious mistake than hitting the curb, and that is hitting a car, or even worse, a pedestrian. This happens when the examinee doesn't look back or just stares forward. It is a definite failing score in the test and a very bad feeling for the student. If the student hits a pedestrian, it can also be dangerous.

Not looking back, even without hitting anything, is another serious error during the driving test. When backing up, the student should look in the rear window and the mirrors. Failing to do so is also a reason for the examiner to fail the student on the spot.

Parallel parking requires many hours of practice. In some places, it is not a required skill for the parking test, but any driver should be able to do, especially if he lives or works in a big city. The practice must be with the proper guidance, or else any student would face hardships when practicing this skill.

Pass Your Road Test - Speed Issues 

See the driving test failure reasons for speed

Pass Your Road Test - Speed Issues

Cars have one major purpose: to get people from point A to point B, and fast. For speeds of 4 kilometers per hour (or 2.5 miles per hour) we have our feet. For speeds of 15-30 km/h (10-20 mph) we can ride a bicycle. For speeds like 100 km/h (about 60 mph), we need a car. The only problem is that the human race was built for walking speed, not driving speed. That is the cause of speed issues and accidents.

It may surprise you, but the most disturbing problem that many driving students have is driving too slow. Slow driving causes a safety hazard since drivers expect other drivers to drive as fast as possible to keep traffic flow. Some students are told "drive slow on the test and you will be fine". There is nothing further from the truth. Most examiners have a maximum allowed speed derivation from the speed limit, and from there it's an automatic fail. For example, in California it is 10 miles per hour. If a student drives at 25 miles per hour in a 35 zone, the test is over.

The other issue with speed is of course too much speed. Fast driving is very enjoyable, but just like everything in life, overdoing it can become the most unenjoyable experience in your life. During the driving test some examinees go over the speed limit, which is an automatic fail in some places and a warning in others. After the test, speeding is a major issue the police face every day, and it can become deadly very fast.

Approach speed on intersections is another problem with most beginner drivers. Some of them approach an intersection too fast and cannot stop behind the limit line, which can be marked as a failure to stop and an automatic test fail. Others slow down too much ahead of the intersection, causing traffic delays and annoyed drivers.

One of the more annoying speed issues is the lane change speed problem. Some drivers, especially when nervous, tend to signal for a lane change and wait forever. They see a driver next to them, so they cannot change their lane, but they don't slow down or accelerate to find a good entry point. They just wait for a miracle. This can cause dangerous maneuvers by them later to get to their turn or freeway exit on the last minute.

Like any other problem with driving, speed issues can be easily solved with practice and confidence. With the practice you will get the confidence and the "feel" of the proper speed in every situation you encounter.

A Back Up Plan for the Road Test 

See common reverse driving mistakes on the driving test

A Back Up Plan for the Road Test

Cars can move in two directions - forward and back. Forward driving is easy for most drivers, but backward driving is giving much trouble to many beginner drivers. Since it comes up on any driving test, it is a cause of many test failures and disappointments. It has been found that some backing up problems repeat more often than others on road tests.

The biggest mistake of backing up is steering. Some driving students just don't know how to steer their car when they back up. They try to move it left and right, but at the end they have no clue where they should turn the wheel. This shows lack of steering ability and lack of practice. This can be marked as a minor error, but it is taken seriously.

Another mistake of backing up is not looking back when doing it. Some drivers think that anything behind them will just move away, so they don't need to look. If a back up is done this way, even if nothing was hit, the failure in the test is almost guaranteed and well deserved.

Unlucky drivers who back up without looking back might hit something, or worse, someone. When that happens, the test is immediately stopped. If the examinee hit a car, he or she is required to leave details to pay for the damages later. If a person is hit, even slightly, it's not only illegal, but also feels very awkward and bad.

Improper mirror usage is also common in back ups. Some driving students look to the back when they back up, but look only through the rear window. They don't use the side mirrors, and sometimes miss something that will be hit from the side of the car. Like not looking at all, this is a critical error.

Backing up requires practice with a good guide. A regular, plain practice may be wrong and instill wrong back up habits that may be illegal and cause driving students to fail their test.

Perpendicular Parking Mistakes 

See common perpendicular parking mistakes made by drivers.

Perpendicular Parking Mistakes On the Road Test

Perpendicular parking seems to be the second hardest driving maneuver for driving students, with parallel parking just above it. Student drivers just can't understand what is perpendicular parking all about. This type of parking is somewhat rare on driving tests, but it's very common on every day parking, especially on big parking lots. When perpendicular parking does appear on the test, student drivers make the same mistakes over and over.

One common mistake on perpendicular parking is not looking back when backing up into or out of a parking spot. Perpendicular parking requires backing up, and when the student driver doesn't look back, there is a risk of hitting something or someone. Even if it doesn't happen, it is often a failure on the test.

Hitting a person when backing up is possible when the driver doesn't look back or doesn't look to both sides when backing up. This is not only a driving test mistake, it is also highly illegal. If that happens, the examiner marks a critical error and the student can forget about the driver's license for a few weeks.

Hitting a car is much more common in perpendicular parking than any other kind of parking. When doing perpendicular parking, the driver is usually required to enter a very tight spot. If it is not done correctly, the driver can hit a car. This mistake also happens when getting out of the parking and turning the wheel to steer away. It's a critical error and a sure test failure.

The curb is a big cause of failure in the parking world, and perpendicular parking is not an exception. Some parking lots have a "parking road block" at the end of the parking spot to mark the end of the spot. During the driving test, some drivers hit that block. This is a critical error and an immediate fail.

Diagonal parking is not a critical error most of the times, but it is one of the most annoying parking forms. Some drivers don't perform good perpendicular parking and enter the parking spot diagonally. This way of parking takes up two parking spaces and really annoys other drivers.

Perpendicular parking, like parallel parking, requires many hours of practice. A good guide is essential in this practice, so driving students will practice only the best way to perform a perpendicular parking.

Acceleration Issues 

See common acceleration problems and errors made during driving tests

Acceleration as a Major Reason of Failure in the Driving Test

Acceleration is a big necessity for driving. Without it cars would not move and lose their meaning. There are several ways to accelerate a car, but only a few of them are correct and safe. Others can lead to an accident. During the driving test, improper acceleration can cause any driving student to fail. Some acceleration mistakes happen more often than others, and they all make the students very disappointed.

Too fast acceleration is one of the biggest driving mistakes in general. When the driver hits the gas pedal too fast, the car "jumps" and causes everyone in it to swing back and forth. This is a very bad demonstration of driving skills during the driving test. If the student hits another car because of swift acceleration, test failure is assured.

Slow acceleration can be as dangerous as fast one. Every driver is expected to drive as close to the speed limit as possible without posing a threat to others, and slow acceleration lengthens the time until that speed is reached. Slow acceleration shows driving nervousness and lack of confidence on the road. Showing these traits on the road test will not benefit any test applicant and can possible fail him.

Intersection acceleration is vital for driving and the driving test. After entering an intersection, drivers should leave it as quickly as possible. However, some driving students take their time when they go through intersections and don't mind their surroundings. Even if a fast car is approaching them, they will proceed at their low speed. This is very dangerous and a reason to fail a driving student on the test.

A huge mistake drivers make during their license test is not accelerating on lane changes. Sometimes a tiny speed increase is required to move to another lane. Many student drivers, especially on their driving test, fail to do so and wait forever until they change lanes. This is a serious, repeating issue in many driving tests, and it can mean a new test for the examinee.

Acceleration is a matter of practice. Without enough practice, no driver will be able to pass his driving test, especially not the acceleration part. Every driving student who plans to take the road test should get some good practice with a good guide.
