P1-driving-test-nsw.jpgIt’s always sweeter when you have a 100% P1 driving test score.

Your examiner may refer to the test sheet and, there’s a whole list of fail items there.

Knowing the fail items doesn’t really help you that much. You still need to be able to drive correctly.

There’s 19 of them. You’ll actually find them for free in a book at the test centre.

 

 

Here’s some P1 Driving Test NSW Fail Items

  1. It’s basically disobeying traffic sign signals and road marking. You’ve rolled through the stop sign, you haven’t stopped on the red or you haven’t stopped at the yellow when it was safe.
  2. When you’re driving, you’ve gone over maybe an unbroken road marking where you shouldn’t have. You meant to give way to the right and you didn’t. You were not safe and this often leads to the examiner having to stop the car.
  3. Finding the way to make sure you’re picking appropriate gaps or colliding with a vehicle, pedestrian or object. This will happen when you’ve come into the curb or you’re doing your parking, you’ve smacked the curb. Another place that this often happens is on roundabouts. If you’re doing a right turn or you turn and it’s always that rear right tire that hits the island and goes up.
  4. Performing an illegal act or manoeuvre. So you’ve gone on the wrong side of the road or something, or you’ve turned left from the wrong position, like left on the right hand side of the road, making a U-turn that’s not lawful.
  5. Exceeding the speed limit. Where this one classically happens is in school zones, you get over 40 in no time or on long 50 zones, you’re over 50 in no time. Just make sure you’re under the speed limit. You just got to notice when you’re in the zone you’re in.
  6. . This is where the examiner had to jump in and stop the car usually or help with the steering or something. But it’s really dangerous. They’re not going to let it play out. They actually say stop or they jump on the brake and that’s it.
  7. .Causing a dangerous situation. You’ve done something that puts other people at risk. Slamming on the brake too hard or overtaking in an unsafe manner. Its just dangerous. So you have to drive safely. Okay, just be careful.
  8.  Failing to maintain proper control of the vehicle. You might not be holding the steering wheel properly. You’ve got to be in control of your vehicle..
  9.  Failing to exercise care to avoid an accident. Basically, you need to be ready to respond to a hazard. So if you go flying past trucks or quickly into bad vision intersections and you’re not prepared for the hazards.
  1. Failing to give way to an emergency vehicle. And if you don’t get out of the way or allow them to get around you and you’re in their way.
  2. Disobeying directions from person controlling traffic. He says, stop and you go anyway. Obviously, that’s going to be a problem. Got to obey them.
  3. Frequently not signalling intention. So you will fail if you do three bad signals..
  4. Refusing to attempt any part of the test. And the examiner says, okay, turn right and you say, no, I’m not doing that. This is bizarre. I mean, you deserve to fail if you’re going to do that.
  5. Deliberate failure to follow directions. Turning left when the examiner said turn right.
  6. Unreasonably obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians.
  7. Not parking to the required standard. So you’ve just got to make sure you finish in the correct position with the parking. You’ve not parked illegally or you’re blocking traffic or something. Failing to maintain a safe following distance –  three second gap.
  8. Frequently not making required observation checks .Three strikes and you’re out, so you use your head; checking over shoulder pulling out, pulling into the curb and checking traffic lights are a few of them. If you’re not doing these checks you will fail. This is probably the most common fail item.

. Okay, guys, there’s some information for you. Keep practising. Stay safe.
