wrong lane by hawkwell driving school hockley

If you get in the wrong lane for where your examiner wants you to go on your test, slow down – hold back and try to get into the correct lane. If you can’t then it is usually best to continue in the lane that you are in and go with it in the wrong direction. The examiner can get you back on course later on – you should not fail for taking the wrong direction.

Most people fail their driving tests because they get in the wrong lane, often this is at the end of one-way streets. The general rule is if you get stuck in the wrong lane, wherever it may be, go in the direction of the lane. You won’t fail if you go the wrong way, only if you drive incorrectly. and remember - all roads are two-way unless there are signs telling you differently. Make sure you know which lane you should be in and know your road markings.
