Driving Test Tips - 1. Observations at Junctions

Driving Test Tips

In this episode, Kev and Tracey talk about effective driving observations, one of the top ten reasons people fail their driving test.

We chat about:

  • What we mean by effective observations
  • The most common times that people fail to make observations 
  • Why are effective observations so important for keeping you safe on the road, not just for your driving test

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

  • How effectively are you looking while driving?
  • How well are you able to judge the speed of oncoming traffic?
  • Did you know about the connection between driving test competencies and accident statistics? 
  • What can you do to start improving your driving observations?

The Ready to Pass campaign has been created to help ensure that you have prepared sufficiently for your driving test in response to the current pass rate, which has a 47% success rate.
