There is sometimes confusion as to how many minor faults you can get without failing and the difference between serious and dangerous faults on a practical test.
You will pass your test:
Without committing any serious or dangerous faults
Without committing more than 15 minor driving errors (16 or more will result in a fail)
Dangerous driving faults are classed as a fault which results in actual danger. Serious driving faults are when a potentially dangerous incident occurs or a candidate repeats a fault several times. Either of these types of faults will result in a fail.
Minor driving faults are less serious faults which don’t prove any immediate danger, such as hesitating at a junction for too long or changing gear too late.
Observation is the thing people most tend to fail on. Whether it be at a junction, checking your mirrors, lack of observation whilst completing a manoeuvre or when moving away. Other mistakes most commonly made are lack of steering control, incorrect use of signals, incorrect positioning or incorrect speed.
