Questions / G2 road test
Answer first · reviewed August 2026
What can cause an automatic fail on the G2 test?
A dangerous action, serious traffic-law violation, collision, examiner intervention or loss of control can lead to failure or termination. Exact decisions depend on what happens.
Make it practical
What to do
Practise full stops, yielding, safe gaps, speed control and observation until they remain reliable under pressure.
Easy to miss
The common trap
Using unofficial ‘automatic fail’ lists as legal rules. Community lists are patterns, not the examiner’s policy manual.
Turn knowledge into a habit
How to practise it
Practise the skill on several unfamiliar roads until you can perform it safely without a prompt. The route can change; the habit must travel with you.
When a rule, road sign or examiner instruction conflicts with an internet tip, use the official rule and the safe decision. The internet has many talents; wearing a reflective examiner vest is not one of them.

Sources and context
Community discussions identify common questions and learner experiences. They are anecdotes, not official marking rules, guaranteed routes or a substitute for professional instruction.
