The Big Failure Reasons

Failure is not a nice feeling, but it's a part of life and the driving test. Although many people already know why they fail, they keep failing. Tommy Connolly brings us another list of failure reasons for you to check.

Top 10 Reasons Why People Fail Their Practical Driving Test!

Reasons why people fail the test:-

On average those who pass their driving test first time, have had around 45 hours of professional training, along with about 22 hours of private practice.

Learners who have combined professional instruction with private practice have had a more successful pass rate than those who do not.

Form June 2004 studies it showed that the pass rate was only 43%, and for first time candidates, it is even lower.

Below is list of the Top Ten reasons to why people fail their driving test:

1. Inappropriate speed - travelling too slowly or being hesitant

2. Reversing around a corner - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

3. Moving away safely - ineffective observation

4. Observation at junctions – inefficient observation and judgement.

5. Lack of steering control - steering too early or leaving it too late

6. Reverse parking - ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

7. Incorrect positioning to turn right - at junctions and in one way streets

8. Use of mirrors - not checking or not acting on the information

9. Incorrect use of signals - not cancelling or giving misleading signals

10. Incorrect positioning on the road - at roundabouts or on bends

This list is not in the order of importance, it is just a list of the top ten reasons of why people failed their driving test, as from a study of the 12 months of 2004. Also these reasons are why other people have failed their test, for you it could just be down to that you are just not ready yet or nerves on the day, so the best advice is to wait until you feel 100% for the test and not to rush straight into it.

The California Fail-Phone Law

It's the end of the month, which means it's a time for another funny video. As every Californian knows, beginning tomorrow, you are not allowed to talk on your cell phone while driving without a headset. Many people criticize this law, but some people even went far enough and created a funny video about it. Watch how someone can fail his driving test because of a cell phone.



This is taken to an extreme, of course. No examiner will talk like that, and no examinee will take his hands off the wheel. However, this is a funny way to criticize the new law.

Drive legally and have a great July,

Re-Passing the Permit Test

According to a recent phone test, sixteen percent of American drivers should not be on the road, according to this story on the Birmingham News. GMAC Insurance asked 5,524 drivers across the United States 20 permit test questions. Then they averaged it for each state and for the entire United States.

The results are not encouraging, with an average score of 78 (although it is an improvement from last year, 77). The highest scoring state was Kansas with an average of 84. The lowest score was achieved by New Jersey drivers with an average score of 69.

Most drivers had problem with flashing yellow lights and identifying a safe distance. What a big surprise. These are very confusing for many drivers, especially the flashing yellow lights. Only a good driving test guide can make sure new drivers know that.

Obviously, drivers forget about the permit test when they start driving, and the 78 averge is not that bad (and not that good either). If those people were forced to take a permit test to pass again, most of them would pass. Otherwise, they have no reason to memorize exact rules that they never encounter. Furthermore, many people break the law often, so they have no reason to remember those tiny laws.

So, would you pass your permit test again right now? Feel free to answer in the comments.

Yours,
