The_DADDY Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I just found out today from my daughter that a learner driver taking their test is allowed 15 minor faults. I was staggered. 15 faults? FIFTEEN FAULTS????? Has it always been this way? Is it me or is 15 faults in a half hour test waaaaaaaay too many? Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I've just Googled it and yes that's right ............. up to 15 minor faults allowed, although if you commit the same minor fault 3 times that will be classed as a major fault and a fail. Even allowing for nerves it does seem an excessive amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace* Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Is this 15 faults only for females ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Was 3 faults, no matter how minor - around the mid to late 70's?. I think you could request a retest on a part if you asked the tester (knowing you made a mistake) As I said, a long time ago. So probably wrong! 15 mistakes does explain some of the horrendous driving I see on the roads though. I consider myself, or I'm considered a boring driver now. I stick to speed limits, indicate and give way...you know, the normal stuff. Or is it called 'The right way'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 During my practical driving test I came to a sign that said “ No Left Turn Here” so naturally I did not put my indicator out to turn right. I passed my test but the pass paper noted “ Did not put indicator out to turn right” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been like that since at least the late 90s when I did mine. The test was longer than half an hour though, of that I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 When I took my test it was longer than half an hour. In the mid 80s there was no theory test just a couple of questions from the examiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are overreacting a bit tbh, from memory you got a minor for really trivial things. It's hardly get one minor for running a dog over.

That's your problem 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
