😱 The number 1 reason learners fail their test is by not making effective observations at junctions.

❗ Are you confident judging the speed of an approaching vehicle? It’s important when pulling out you don’t cause others to have to slow down or take action to avoid you.

Looking too late ⏰ You must properly check your surroundings before moving out of junction to make effective observations.

👉 Failing to turn right correctly at a junction is also at number 4.
