Since the most experienced and proficient drivers often make some of these mistakes at one time or another, it is important that you are careful not to make them during your driving test.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Failure to stop at a Stop Sign:<\/strong>\u00a0When you come to a stop sign, you must come to a COMPLETE stop. You should wait for a second or two before you continue to drive. If you stop short of the stop line, you should move up to the line and then come to another complete stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Excessive Speed:<\/strong>\u00a0Excessive speed can result in a failure. You don\u2019t want to go any more than 5k over the speed limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Not Doing Head Checks:<\/strong>\u00a0When you are moving away from the kerb, when you change lanes, when you merge, or when you move into a path or deviate from a path, you should do a complete head check. Avoiding head checks can result in a serious accident and it will result in a potential failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Not checking if the Vehicle is Road-Worthy:<\/strong>\u00a0Before getting in the vehicle, you should check your tyres, lights, and mirrors.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Causing a Potential Crisis:<\/strong>\u00a0If you do something on the road that could result in a traffic crisis, you could fail your test.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>The Inability to Perform Any Part of the Test:<\/strong>\u00a0When you take your test, you will be required to drive forward, to turn, to back up, to parallel park, and to master bay parking. If you cannot do something that is required, you could fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Failure to Give-Way at Give-Way Lines:<\/strong>\u00a0If you come to a give-way line and you don\u2019t stop if another vehicle is coming, it could result in a failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Losing Control of the Vehicle:<\/strong>\u00a0If you cannot control your vehicle, you could fail your test. This could be stalling the vehicle, switching to the wrong gear, rolling backward, and coasting or riding your clutch. If you don\u2019t steer properly, if you over rev your engine, and if you cannot use your windshield wipers, you could also fail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_399\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/roundabout-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/roundabout-1-300x169.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/roundabout-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/roundabout-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/roundabout-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"Drivers Test\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are certain critical errors that can be made that will cause you to fail immediately. Minor errors may not result in a failure, however, if you make too many small mistakes, it can result in a failure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2022<strong>\u00a0Failure to Signal:<\/strong>\u00a0You should signal 5 seconds before you reach the kerb. It should be about 30 metres before you turn if it is possible. You also need to properly signal at roundabouts. You should make sure that your signal has canceled within 3 flashes after taking your turn.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Giving the Instructor a Reason to Intervene:<\/strong>\u00a0If the assessor needs to intervene during the test to keep you from getting into an accident, you will fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Failure to Obey Traffic Laws:<\/strong>\u00a0If you don\u2019t obey the traffic laws, road marking, and regulatory signs, there is a good chance that you will fail<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong>Inability to Follow Direction:<\/strong>\u00a0If you cannot follow any of the directions given to you by your assessor, you could fail.<\/p>\n<p>You should understand that the driving test is very structured. Many people think that they will fail by making the wrong maneuver one. Oftentimes, you can get another attempt before you fail.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that you practice driving and improve your skill. Unlike the maneuvers, you only get one chance to get your driving technique correct. If you make a driving error, it often cannot be rectified.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_686\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Defensive-Driving-School.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Defensive-Driving-School-300x167.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Defensive-Driving-School-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Defensive-Driving-School-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.defensivedriving.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Defensive-Driving-School.jpg 800w\" alt=\"Drivers Test\" width=\"600\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">If your goal is to get your driving license as quickly as possible, Defensive Driving can help you achieve that goal whether you are driving a manual or automatic car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Reasons Why You Won\u2019t Be Allowed to Take Your Driver\u2019s Test<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few reasons why you would be prohibited from taking your driving test on your scheduled date.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Insufficient ID<br \/>\n\u2022 If your logbook isn\u2019t filled out correctly<br \/>\n\u2022 If your vehicle is not road-worthy (burned out or cracked lights, bad tires, seat belts that don\u2019t work, a cracked windscreen, etc.)<br \/>\n\u2022 If your vehicle doesn\u2019t have dual controls, it must have a handbrake mounted in the center.<br \/>\n\u2022 If you are late for your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/online.transport.wa.gov.au\/pdabooking\/manage\/;jsessionid=Lxs05pLSQuw4YDvB2MCRZ6lfXPTv8s5ozGAbJRyuWj2-vucTifCe!-1621637413!1374096112?0\">scheduled appointment<\/a>.
