During the practical driving test, you may be asked to perform manoeuvres such as parallel parking, bay parking, or pulling up on the right side of the road and reversing.
Common reasons include poor observation at junctions, incorrect mirror checks, poor lane positioning, and hesitation in traffic situations.
Regular practice, understanding test routes, staying calm during the exam, and completing mock driving tests can significantly improve your chances of passing.
