🚗 DRIVING MOCK TEST REPORT
Test: Mock Test One
Candidate: (Sh)
Date: Saturday 13th
Time: 13:09
Location: Avonmouth
Result: ❌ FAIL
❌ SERIOUS FAULTS
(Faults that pose risk or show lack of safe control)
1. Lane discipline at roundabout
Issue: Incorrect lane chosen to follow the road ahead.
2. Lane discipline at roundabout
Issue: Again positioned in the wrong lane. This could mislead other road users and cause conflict.
3. Gear selection
Issue: Changed into the wrong gear, leading to uncertainty and loss of smooth control.
⚠️ MINOR FAULTS
(Areas needing improvement, not dangerous yet)
1. Car control in car park
Issue: Did not stop and secure the vehicle promptly.
2. Braking on hill
Issue: Applied the brake unnecessarily while stationary; did not remain steady.
3. Gear selection & moving off
Issue: Attempted to move off in the wrong gear instead of first gear, causing confusion and hesitation.
4. Parallel parking
Issue: Finished slightly too far from the kerb.
5. Speed management
Issue: Drove at 30 mph in a 20 mph zone (corrected from "4 mph" as this is likely a slip).
🗣️ INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK FOR SH
Hello Sh,
Thank you for your effort today. Unfortunately, this mock test resulted in a fail because of the serious faults recorded — these are the issues that would cause a real test to be terminated. Let’s go through everything clearly so you know exactly what to work on.
✅ WHAT TO FIX — LANE DISCIPLINE
“At roundabouts, you must choose the correct lane well before you arrive. Look at the road signs and markings early — they will tell you which lane to take for your direction. If you pick the wrong lane, you can confuse other drivers and even cause a collision. Slow down in good time, check your mirrors, and position yourself correctly. If you are unsure, stay in the left lane unless signs say otherwise — never guess.”
✅ WHAT TO FIX — GEAR SELECTION
“Gears are there to help you control speed and power. When moving off, always use first gear — this is the only gear that gives you enough power to pull away smoothly. Changing into the wrong gear or trying to move off in a higher gear makes the car stall or jerk, and it makes you unsure of what you’re doing. Practise changing gears in a quiet area until it feels automatic — you should never have to think hard about which gear you need.”
✅ WHAT TO FIX — SPEED CONTROL
“Always check the speed limit signs. In built-up areas, the limit is often 20 or 30 mph — today you drove at 30 mph in a 20 mph zone. Going too fast means you cannot react quickly enough to hazards. Remember: speed limits are the maximum allowed, not a target. Adjust your speed to match the road signs and conditions.”
✅ WHAT TO FIX — PARKING & CONTROL
“In the car park, you need to stop smoothly and apply the handbrake firmly before you take your foot off the brake pedal. When stopped on a hill, keep the car still using the handbrake, not the foot brake — this avoids unnecessary braking and keeps the car steady. For parallel parking, aim to finish within 15cm of the kerb; being too far out makes you an obstacle to pedestrians and other vehicles.
📝 SUMMARY
“You have shown you can steer and manoeuvre, but the main things holding you back are planning ahead, choosing the right gear, and reading road signs clearly. With practice, these will become second nature. Let’s focus on roundabouts, gear work, and speed limits in our next lesson — you will see the difference quickly.”
Next step: Practise gear changes and roundabout procedures in quiet areas first, then build up to busier roads.
