You’re allowed to make 15 minor mistakes on your driving test. However, if you make one serious error—anything that endangers you or other drivers—you could fail immediately.
Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
  • Failing to check your blind spots
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks
  • Making a rolling stop or coming to a halt past the stop line
  • Speeding more than five miles per hour
