Introduction:

Before taking your Practical Driving Test you must first complete your Theory and Hazard Perception Tests. You can click here for more information on the Theory and Hazard Perception Tests.

The DSA says research shows that learners who have had about forty hours professional tuition with a driving instructor plus plenty of private practice, stand the best chance of passing. 

The national current pass rate is only 43% (June 2004). Currently Steve's pass rate is around 60% and he has achieved 4 test passes with zero faults. Something he is extremely proud of.

For first time candidates, this national pass rate is even lower. To help you avoid the most common pitfalls* the DSA have provided a list of the top ten reasons why people fail...

1. Observation at junctions - Ineffective observation and judgment

2. Reverse parking - Ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

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

4. Reversing around a corner - Ineffective observation or a lack of accuracy

5. Incorrect use of signals - Not canceling or giving misleading signals

6. Moving away safely - Ineffective observation

7. Incorrect positioning on the road - At roundabouts or on bends

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

9. Incorrect positioning to turn right - At junctions and in one way streets

10. Inappropriate speed - Traveling too slowly or being hesitant
