Poor positioning on the road during normal driving

You must be able to:

· position the car correctly for your intended route.

· position the car in the middle of marked lanes.

· only change lanes when necessary

Any mistakes you make in this area will be counted under the ‘Positioning - Normal driving’ fault on your driving test result.

Repeatedly driving too close to the kerb or centre of the road

Throughout the test, you repeatedly drive too close to either:

· the kerb, putting pedestrians at risk

· the centre of road, putting oncoming drivers at risk

Unnecessarily driving in the right-hand lane of a dual carriageway

When you drive on a dual carriageway, you unnecessarily drive in the right-hand lane for a considerable length of time.

Cutting across the normal road position when you go ahead at a roundabout with no lane markings

When you go ahead at a roundabout with no lane markings, you ‘straight-line’ the roundabout with no consideration for following vehicles. ‘Straight-lining’ means you drive in a straight line in the road, rather than following the bend of the roundabout.
