They've been here once, and they'll be here again. Those mistakes make driving students' lives miserable for no reason. Here is an article with them and how to deal with them.

7 Huge Mistakes That Will Cause You to Fail Your Driver's Test

Are you planning to take your driving test soon? One of the best ways to ensure that you will do a good job is to know which mistakes to avoid. Find out why other people fair their tests and make sure you don't make the same mistakes they did. If you have already taken the test, and failed, you hopefully have some idea of how to improve your driving skills so that you pass next time.

What are the most common mistakes, anyway? Here are a few:

1. Failing to start properly. You need to familiarize yourself with the starting procedure. Don't move off too quickly. Make sure you use the right gear when starting. Check traffic, and use the correct signal.

2. Not using controls properly, or forgetting to use them. Many beginner drivers mistake controls. Learn what every single control does and when to use it. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the vehicle you will be driving during the test.

3. Not slowing down or stopping appropriate times. You should always be going the speed limit unless you have to prepare for a stop. When you see a yellow light, slow down and prepare to stop. When coming to a STOP sign, slow down and come to a complete stop.

4. Not steering properly. Your hands should be on the correct position on the wheel. Don't ever do any unnecessary steering with one hand. Don't make erratic movements, such as jerking the wheel. You don't have to let it self-center itself.

5. Making dangerous lane changes. Always check over your shoulders and use the right signal. Only change lanes when it is safe and clear to do so.

6. Being TOO cautious. While it's essential to be cautious, you don't want to be so cautious that you start going too slowly. Keep an eye on other drivers, but don't become so focused on them that you stop paying attention to what you are doing. Likewise, don't become so cautious when your own driving that you forget about other drivers.

7. Not yielding. Failing to yield properly to other traffic won't just cause you to fail - it may also cause you to become injured. You can cause an accident if you try to go at a red light. Sometimes the road might not be clear - even if you have a green arrow.

Now that you know the common mistakes, you can prepare for your driver's test. You will also become a safe and responsible driver. Good luck!
