Stalling - Automatic Fail?

“This is another driving test myth. This one is for Sarah. Thank you very much Sarah. Sarah says “You’ll automatically fail if you stall.” That’s not going to be the case. In most cases, it will be simply a driver error. Though, if you’ve stalled in a dangerous or potentially dangerous istuation, on a busy roundabout or junction or entering a main road, at a T-junction with a truck coming, then that could be a fail with a serious or dangerous fault.

How you sort yourself out ans move off safely is where you could also get something wrong and potentially fail, but that’s a moving off issue rather than the initial fault of stalling.

So, if you stall, try and work out why you did stall and have a word with your instructor for their advice.”
