The number of failures in driving tests has reached a new record high. A driving instructor now reveals why he thinks this is the case.
Everyone who has a driving license remembers the day of the test well – in some cases, reluctantly. Because more and more students are failing the driving test. A driving instructor is now sharing a video on TikTok in which he reveals the “top three reasons” why, in his opinion, students fail the practical driving test.
According to him, the main reason why learner drivers fail the practical test is that they “drive too fast into a town”, “do not stop properly at a stop sign” and “do not look into the road when the road sign says ‘right before left'”.
In the comments, users share their experiences with the driving test. One user remembers: “I was just panicking and had the brilliant idea of trying to correct myself between two cars after I was crooked when parking forwards.”
Another user confesses: “My problem is that I miss signs because I don’t concentrate enough.”
The user does not seem to be alone in this, because according to TÜV, more and more people in Germany are failing their driving test. The TÜV association, which cites surveys by “TÜV | DEKRA arge tp 21”, reports that around 30 percent of people in Germany failed their practical driving test last year. That is four percent more than in 2014.
This development is also worrying the TÜV. “If we want to stop this development, we have to improve the quality of driver training through modern learning methods and targeted test preparation,” says Richard Goebelt, Head of Vehicle and Mobility at the TÜV Association.
A strange incident occurred during a theory test recently. A 50-year-old candidate cheated on his driving test by wearing a talk button in his ear and using a camera. But the fraud was discovered.
Breakdown assistance, medical repatriation, traffic law advice and much more.
In the Erzgebirge district, around 1,000 Ukrainian refugees are urgently looking for accommodation. A letter from the district administration office is asking them to vacate their current apartments by mid-June.
