The Most Common Reasons Learners Fail the Sydney Driving Test

1. Observation Errors

Failing to clearly check mirrors and blind spots before lane changes or turns remains the most frequent issue identified during mock assessments.

2. Inconsistent Speed Control

Many learners drive too cautiously or exceed limits when transitioning between zones such as school areas and main roads.

3. Poor Decision-Making at Roundabouts

Hesitation or unsafe entry judgments are common in Eastern Suburbs driving conditions.

4. Parking Manoeuvre Inaccuracy

Reverse parking must be controlled, slow, and observationally correct — not just completed successfully.

LMate integrates these assessment criteria into every pre-test lesson so learners understand how examiners evaluate behaviour, not just vehicle control.
