Mistakes

Learner drivers commonly make at least some of these :
  • Slowing down (or signalling) too late
  • Not considering the effect of slowing (EFFECTIVE use of centre mirror)
  • De-clutching too early, known as "coasting" (only possible in a manual car)
  • Crossing hands when steering
  • Having clutch above biting point while easing off brake
  • Avoiding handbrake to move away faster
  • Applying handbrake before fully stopped
  • "Riding the clutch" (only possible in a manual car)
Picture
Read how these can lead to faults marked on your driving test report (with some examples).  But also how they are tools for learning.
