In the UK driving test, there are no "official" fixed routes, but every test centre has notorious "black spots" known for high failure rates. Based on DVSA data and Veygo’s 2025 analysis, here are the most dangerous types of road sections:
This is the most common place to fail. Examiners will often take you to the busiest local junctions.
Notorious Example: The Hanger Lane Gyratory in London (famed as one of Britain's scariest junctions BBC News).
Common Error: Being in the wrong lane, failing to check the left blind spot when exiting, or causing "undue hesitation."
Many centres are located near major arteries like the A1 or A406.
Notorious Example: Goodmayes and Barking in London, which have some of the highest failure volumes in the UK EZ Licence.
Common Error: Inadequate speed when merging from slip roads or following too closely at 60-70 mph.
Examiners use these to test your spatial awareness and "meeting" skills.
Notorious Example: Tottenham or Wood Green, where streets are lined with parked cars Car Leasing Made Simple.
Common Error: Failing to give way to oncoming traffic or misjudging the gap and clipping a wing mirror.
Common in older urban areas like Norris Green in Liverpool.
Common Error: Lack of observation. If you pull out without using the "peep and creep" method when your view is blocked, it is an automatic Serious Fault.
