Most Common Fail Reasons at Yeading London

DVSA doesn't break fault data down by centre, so the list below is the national picture, weighted for the kind of roads you'll actually face at Yeading London and other centres.

1. Junctions — observation: Not looking properly before emerging, particularly at mini-roundabouts where visibility is limited.
2. Mirrors — change direction: Failing to check mirrors before turning or changing lane. Must be demonstrably checked, not just glanced at.
3. Speed — appropriate speed: Driving too fast for the road conditions or too slowly without reason. Both are marked — inappropriate hesitancy is a fault as well as excess speed.
4. Roundabouts — road positioning: Incorrect lane choice on approach, cutting the roundabout, or failing to give way to traffic already on the roundabout.
5. Control — steering: Drifting or coarse corrections through bends and at junctions.
