At Delhi Driving School, passing the VicRoads driving test becomes effortless and straight forward. With our 5+ years of experience in training and guiding learner drivers, along with a track record of successful drive tests, we have helped numerous students pass on their first attempt.
As driving instructors at Delhi Driving School, we often encounter questions regarding the reasons for failing a driving test. While the factors can vary, we have identified the top 10 reasons (in no particular order) why individuals fail:
- Feeling excessively nervous and stressed: It’s natural to experience nerves and stress during any test. However, the fear of being judged by a Licensing Testing Officer (LTO) can lead to forgetting road rules and making mistakes. Building confidence and managing test nerves are vital, and our specialized training can help you overcome these challenges.
- Lack of experience and preparation: Insufficient practice and inadequate preparation contribute to being under-prepared. Regardless of your confidence or experience, taking at least one lesson with a professional driving instructor is crucial for understanding the VicRoads Graduated Licensing System. This knowledge diminishes your fears and increases your chances of success.
- Driving beyond the speed limit: Exceeding the specified speed limit, even by a small margin, leads to failure. Learners often get carried away by other vehicles and fail to monitor their speed, resulting in a test failure.
- Failing to give way, signal, or check for other road users: Observant driving is essential, considering the shared road space with pedestrians and other vehicles. Failure to give way, neglecting to signal, or not checking for other road users can lead to a test failure.
- Disregarding stop signs or red traffic lights: Failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign or jumping a red traffic light is strictly prohibited and results in an immediate test failure.
- Collisions or mounting the curb: Mounting the curb during driving or colliding with another vehicle is considered unsafe driving and leads to failure.
- Creating dangerous situations: Stopping the car in a hazardous position or engaging in actions that endanger yourself or others on the road results in a test failure.
- Rushing during lane changes: Learners often panic during lane changes. It’s important to remember that there is no rush to switch lanes immediately after receiving an instruction. Lane changes should only occur when it is safe to do so.
- Disobeying instructions from the Licensing Testing Officer or the police: Instructions from the Licensing Testing Officer and the police must be followed without question. Disobeying these instructions will lead to failure.
- Requiring intervention from the instructor or testing officer: If the instructor or Licensing Testing Officer needs to intervene during your drive test, such as using their controls or providing verbal assistance, it is considered a test failure.
