Research suggests that the majority of UK drivers would fail the driving test
The research asked 5 drivers between the ages of 21 and 64 to re-sit the driving test. The results showed that 3 out of the five failed. Errors picked up most often by the examiners were not checking blind spots and mirrors when moving off. In addition one of the drivers failed on using all of the available gears when slowing down. It has been allowed for a good number of years to skip gears when slowing down.
