How the test is marked

3 faults shown

Moving offGrade 3#1

Moving off without checking the blind spot

The examiner marks a fault if you pull away from the kerb without checking your mirrors and looking over your right shoulder. A cyclist or car in your blind spot has to brake or swerve.

Moving offGrade 2#2

Moving off without a signal

If another road user could benefit, you must signal before pulling out. Pulling out with no indicator leaves the driver behind guessing.

Moving offGrade 1#3

Stalling or jerky clutch control

Repeated stalls, kangaroo jumps or revving loudly show poor control of the clutch and accelerator, and are marked under vehicle controls.
