Common Mistakes to Avoid During Your Driving Test 🚗

Taking your driving test can be nerve-wracking, but don’t worry! At Travis Driving School, we’ve seen it all and know the common pitfalls that can cause unnecessary mistakes. Here’s how to avoid them and ace your test with confidence!

Top Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Forgetting to Check Your Mirrors and Blind Spots

Many drivers forget to check their mirrors before lane changes or turns. Examiners want to see you’re fully aware of your surroundings. Pro tip: Make mirror checks part of your routine!

2. Rolling Stops at Stop Signs 🚦

Examiners are always looking for drivers to come to a full stop, not a "rolling stop." Make sure your vehicle comes to a complete stop at stop signs before moving forward.

3. Speeding or Driving Too Slowly

Stick to the speed limit—driving too fast or too slow can lead to automatic fails. Keep an eye on posted speed limits and adjust accordingly.

4. Improper Use of Turn Signals

Turn signals are essential for communication on the road. Always signal well before turns or lane changes to show the examiner you’re following safe driving habits.

5. Failing to Yield Right-of-Way

Whether it’s to pedestrians, other drivers, or cyclists, failing to yield the right-of-way is a common test mistake. Remember: safety first! ⚠️

At Travis Driving School, we prepare students to avoid these mistakes with real-world driving practice, ensuring you’ll feel confident when test day arrives!
