Common Mistakes Learners Make During Driving Tests (And How to Avoid Them)

Passing your driving test in Durban doesn’t have to be stressful — if you know what to expect. At Apex Driving School, we’ve helped hundreds of learners gain their confidence behind the wheel. Here are the most common mistakes that can cost you a pass (and how to avoid them):

Not Checking Blind Spots

Many learners forget to check blind spots when changing lanes or pulling off. Always look over your shoulder and use mirrors properly.

Durban examiners watch carefully at stop streets. Make a full stop, count a second, then proceed.

Poor Steering Control

Avoid crossing your arms or losing control when turning. Practice smooth, steady steering.

Speed Management

Driving too fast or too slow can both cost marks. Stick to the speed limit and adapt to traffic flow.

Anxiety makes learners rush or forget steps. Deep breaths, focus on the road, and trust your training.

Driving too fast or too slow can both cost marks. Stick to the speed limit and adapt to traffic flow.
