The DSA have provided details of why candidates fail their driving test

Here is a list of the top ten reasons for failure:

1. Observations at junctions.
    Ineffective observation and judgment
2. Reverse parking
    Ineffective observation or lack of accuracy
3. Use of mirrors
    Not checking or acting on the information
4. Moving away
    Ineffective observation or control
5. Use of signals
     Not given, not cancelled or misleading
6. Incorrect positioning
    At roundabouts, lanes and bends
7. Reversing around a corner
    Ineffective observation or lack of accuracy
8. Lack of steering control
    Steering too early or too late
9. Turn round in road
    Ineffective observation or lack of accuracy
10. Inappropriate speed
      Traveling too slowly

The DSA database has recorded an overall average pass rate of only 43% and its even less for first time attempts

My pass rates year on are a very respectful 79% almost double the national average! - a very good reason to take professional driving lessons with a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor (DSA ADI) - just like me!!

There is a private pupil access area on the left hand link menu. If you are already a pupil, please click "pupilaccessonly" and enter your pass code. This will provide additional information which cannot be viewed by the general public
