Driving Test Tips
Learner drivers and, I might add, instructors (judging by queries posted recently on an instructors’ web site), concern themselves with the top ten reasons why pupils fail their tests. My answer to that is that they simply are not ready to tackle the driving task alone out on the roads - even those who say their nerves caused them to fail, because perhaps those same nerves could cause them to have a crash, either because they are over-timid or because a driving test pass has now turned them into an over-confident driver! Either way, there were aspects of the candidate’s driving which showed they were not yet safe enough to be allowed out alone.
