Common Mistakes to Be Conscious Of

Blind Spot Neglect

Failing to check the blind spots can lead to dangerous situations, especially when changing lanes or turning. Cultivate a habit of shoulder checking in addition to using mirrors, as it provides a complete view of the surrounding traffic.

Adhering to Speed Limits and Traffic Signs

One of the most frequent errors is neglecting to follow speed limits or obeying the guidance of traffic signs. Be diligent about monitoring your speed and be prepared to adjust it according to the road conditions. Consistent observation and interpretation of traffic signs are also crucial for safe driving and exam success.

Steering Wheel Placement

The incorrect hand position on the steering wheel can compromise control and is often a subtle yet important evaluation point during the test. The recommended ’10 and 2′ or ‘9 and 3’ hand positions provide the best leverage and control over the vehicle, so practice keeping your hands in these positions whenever possible.

Improper Lane Use

A common mistake many learners make is incorrect or unsafe lane usage. This includes failing to signal when changing lanes, not maintaining lane position during turns, or using the wrong lane at traffic lights and roundabouts. Always be aware of lane markings and signage, using them as guides to ensure you’re in the correct lane well before making a turn or lane change. Practice makes perfect, so take the time to familiarize yourself with lane usage rules and apply them diligently whenever you’re on the road.
