Driving Test Fail Compilation | 2024 UK Driving Test

Every year the DVSA publish the most common reasons that people fail their Driving Test. The top 3 reasons are poor observation at junctions, changing direction without checking the correct mirrors, and poor steering control. However, there are so many other ways that drivers can cause potential danger and fail a test, that every time we do a mock test we have to be ready for anything! We thought you might be interested to review some of the fails we have seen on our mock tests, and learn what the driver should have done to stay safe and avoid that fault.

Ngl if I waited months of practice to do a test and spent lots of money for lessons and booking the test, and finally come test day had some inpatient careless pedestrians jumping onto an active road in a green light not even waiting for it to turn red making me fail, I would be so fuming

3:10 imagine failing cause some idiot crosses whilst the lights are green.

14:00 - emergency stop. The driver of the red Astra should re-sit their test. They tried to move past while a cyclist was coming the other way, a head on collision was actually averted by the learner driver pulling away.

First time I heard the crash noise, thought it was the actual car.

[slow_white]

The car crash sound is too much scary 😟 😂

[mehran]

That glass shatter sound effect scared the heck out of me

11:04 Not gonna lie, I feel like this fault was partly due to the examiner confusing the student. He really should've just let her take the left turn; she likely would've done it safely as she seems to have carried out the correct observations and no faults would've been made, as disobeying the examiners' directions is not a fault if done safely.

[simply_tom]

At 10:45, was this fault not partially caused by the driving examiner? If he hadn't intervened and told the driver to cancel the signal and go straight, she likely would have turned left in a safe manner, without misleading other traffic? And going the wrong direction isn't a fault?

[lifeteaches]

Some of reasons to fail a learner are absolutely nonsensical .Examiners never use common sense but apply decades old rules they way they are told so.There is a significant number of examiners who have attitude problems & inclined to fail many learners .This system is beyond believe.

I passed my test in first go still I watch the videos thank you 😊

[vayrie]

Thank you for this! It's super useful to see examples of where and why one might go wrong on their test :)

[daredemon]

I passed my test on third attempt. I had 1 major in both previous tests and no minors. I realised that the secret to not making any of the mistakes mentioned in this video is to drive slowly. If instructor asks you to perform any action then take your time and slow down first.

[mahbubalam]

Just love your videos. Every single moment was worth it. Good luck guys 👍👍

[florence]

Woah I think that crash sound gave a heart attack lol... even the second time

[inokadossanayake]

I passed my driving test today with 2minors. I've been watching all your mock test videos and tutorials. They were a massive help today. Thanks a million...!!!

[MostCedric]

Many years after having passed my driving test, I still like watching these videos to see if I have anything to improve or any bad habits to correct. Although many of these fails are really overkill in real life, I understand why it has to be done in this way. New drivers need to have perfect habits (100%) at the beginning, after if they forget 10-20%, it’s still good. But if they only have 80% at the beginning, they may end with 40%-50%, it’s not safe for everyone.

[miloszlewandowski]

No wonder most drivers are dumb. The licence process makes you drive like a robot... Failing you for literally everything possible, to make extra money for another run. Can't even touch a kurb or even have time to slow down for a speed limit change, expecting you to hit the checkpoint dead on. The UK doesn't want people to drive... Everything is as expensive as possible to put you off.

3:53 - pedestrian started crossing on red. Are we supposed to stop for pedestrians that started crossing on red, even if there is enough space to get around them?
11:02 - yes, that was misleading, yes, we had to break, but "sharply? I would argue, that decelerating from 17 to 15 is not "sharply".

[Lea-hcej]

This is all really good to know, since my test is coming up in my own car, thanks for this very helpful video!
