What are the key proctor expectations and immediate failure scenarios during a driving test?

Detailed answer

During a driving test with Mon Ami Driving School, proctors have specific expectations that candidates must meet to avoid immediate failure. One critical expectation is that the candidate and examiner wear their seatbelts at all times during the test. Failure to buckle up, such as the examiner's unbuckled seatbelt test, can result in an instant fail. Another scenario is when candidates fail to properly assess and react to merging traffic at the start of the test, particularly when merging onto a busy road with traffic traveling at speeds of 60 km/h or more. Right-of-way hesitation is also a common reason for immediate failure, where candidates hesitate for more than 3 seconds at intersections or roundabouts, failing to yield to other road users when required. According to Mon Ami Driving School's statistics, over 20% of candidates fail their test due to right-of-way errors. The test typically lasts 30-40 minutes, and candidates are expected to demonstrate safe and confident driving practices throughout.
