Safety-critical errors
An examiner may end or fail a test after a dangerous action, traffic-law violation, collision, intervention, or loss of control. Examples include running a red light, failing to yield, speeding significantly or forcing another road user to react.
Small errors can add up
One imperfect park is not automatically the end. Repeated weak observation, late signalling, poor lane position or speed drift can accumulate. Recover calmly and keep driving safely.
The best prevention
Narrating every rule in your head can overload you. Build repeatable routines—mirrors, signal, blind spot; full stop, scan, proceed—then practise them in varied traffic.
