I have had some pupils make the simplest mistakes which ended up having them fail their tests.
One pupil I had clipped the kurb coming out of the test centre right at the start of his test, and continued the test, but had technically failed before he even got out onto the road.
Another similar one was where the pupil was doing the parallel park manouver, reversed in at a too sharp angle and bumped the kurb, which was a fail.
Hesitation at a junction, moving out too slow and examiner had to interveine using the dual controls as there was traffic coming.
Quite recently I had a pupil that got a dangerous. He was pulling out of the test centre car park and didn't observe the road properly, and unfortunately there was a car coming and it had to swerve to avoid him. He didn't want to continue his test, knowing that he had failed. And all because he didn't observe the road properly before pulling out of a junction! A very silly and costly mistake which could have been avoided.
Moving off and not checking blind spot will give a minor, but forgetting to do this 3 or more times will result in a serious and you will be failed. Observation is Paramount in driving, not just for test purposes.
