The Most Common Road Test Mistakes, and How to Avoid Them

Rolling stops are the number one problem. A full stop means the car stops moving completely behind the line, then you look both ways.

Missed head checks come next. Mirrors are not enough for a lane change. Examiners want to see your head turn toward the blind spot every time.

Speed in school zones and residential streets is the third. Drive the limit, not the flow of traffic.

The fix for all three is the same: practice them on purpose, out loud, until they happen without thinking.
