So, you already have your driving test scheduled and you can’t help being apprehensive. It is normal for you to be a little agitated and off the edge but there are some blunders that most drivers make that may, unfortunately, cost them a positive in the driving test. Please, have a quick rundown of the common mistakes most drivers make and ensure to avoid them as much you can.

Wrong road position about traffic.

Inability to show adequate concentration and observation when moving, at junctions, at a roundabout and when changing lanes.

Inability to show adequate preemption and anticipation for the actions of other road users.

Improper use of the mirrors and the misleading use of signals.

Incorrect use of internal controls such as the gears, brake, accelerator, and steering.

Failure to properly adjust driving speed to sync with the traffic conditions.

Failure to maintain adequate progress at junctions, roundabouts, on the straight and when overtaking.

Inability to yield the right of way.

Bad judgment and poor coordination when attempting reverse or maneuvering a turnabout.

You may not be 100% prepared to take the driving, and you may be struggling with a few tackiness, but it is important that you find a way to work your confidence and stay comfortable. This will help you avoid a lot of common mistakes that constitute an Achilles-heel for most new drivers.

“I met Kevin on the first lesson and was driving a car much too powerful. Kevin advised I change to a smaller car to do the test.. Best decision ever. I passed easy.. His calming way and powerful encouragement left me very focused on the day… Everybody should use Kevin. He’s the best there is… I’ve had a few….”

After failing many times I got in touch and scheduled. Without this instructor I would not have passed. I’m extremely thankful and grateful for all the effort and time in order for me to pass my driving test today. He’s excellent at what he does and knows everything inside out honestly. If your looking to pass be sure to get in touch you won’t be disappointed.

“I am a 5 star Michelin chef and I know about high standards. I did my EDT lessons and passed first time with this Maestro Kevin.. His technique is superb and his attention to detail is why I passed first time cause that’s what I can relate to.. In my world if Kevin was cooking he would be one of the best in the world. Well done to him.”
