Taking your G2 or G road test can feel stressful — but most failures come from a few avoidable mistakes. At WINDS Driving School, we help our students build strong habits so they can pass confidently on the first try. Here are the most common issues examiners notice — and how to avoid them:
🚗 1️⃣ Missed Shoulder Checks
Examiners expect regular mirror and shoulder checks, especially before turns and lane changes.
✅ Tip: Say your shoulder check out loud in practice to build the habit.
🛑 Rolling Stops
A complete stop is required — 0 km/h — even when the road looks empty.
✅ Tip: Count “one… two…” before moving again.
🎯 Lane Position Problems
Hugging the curb, drifting in the lane, or misjudging turns can cost points.
✅ Tip: Look where you want to go — the car follows your eyes.
⚠️ Hesitation at Right-of-Way
Being overly cautious is also a mistake!
✅ Tip: Learn how to make safe decisions at busy intersections.
❌ Poor Speed Control
Driving too slow can be just as dangerous as driving too fast.
✅ Tip: Practice maintaining limit + safe margin in different conditions.
Passing the test isn’t about perfection — it’s about safe, confident driving. With professional guidance and real test route training, you’ll avoid these common mistakes and earn your license sooner.
