What Are the Most Common Reasons Learners Fail the Driving Test?

By Nargis
Tips

Here are the top fail points across NSW test centres:

❗ 1. Not checking blind spots

A major automatic fail—especially during lane changes, merging, or pulling out.

❗ 2. Incorrect give-way decisions

Common at roundabouts, T-intersections, and merging lanes.

❗ 3. Going too fast or too slow

Examiners look for consistent and safe speed control.

❗ 4. Parking mistakes

Reverse parking and kerbside parking cause stress for many learners.

❗ 5. Test-day nerves

Our calm, supportive teaching style helps learners stay relaxed and focused.
