What happens if you fail a maneuver on a driving test?

I’m prepping for my driving test and I’m a bit nervous. I know that certain things can automatically fail you, but not all of them. What happens if you fail a certain maneuver on a driving test?

Don’t be too nervous—trust in your driving abilities! If you fail a maneuver on a driving test, you may fail the entire test automatically, while other failures may just cost you a few points.
If you’re wondering what things will typically cause you to fail your driving test, the list includes:
  • Failing to check your mirrors when pulling out of a parking spot
  • Driving over the speed limit
  • Making a rolling stop at a stop sign
  • Tailgating or following too closely
  • Slamming on the brakes
  • Driving too fast for conditions
  • Improper merging
  • Using your phone
  • Improper lane changes
  • Driving without
    proof of insurance
    , although this will more than likely just cancel your exam
The bottom line is that you need to adhere to the rules of the road to successfully get your license and avoid failing.
