Alberta Class 7 Practice

Some common reasons for not passing the road test Drivers earn points for mistakes made during a road test, with a set limit for each test. If the maximum points for errors are exceeded, the driver fails the test. Regardless of point totals, the following actions result in automatic failure: • Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for the conditions. • Failing to stop completely before proceeding through an intersection controlled by a stop sign, or before turning right on a red light. • Failing to yield the right-of-way at an intersection or during a lane change. • Obstructing traffic by driving too slowly or stopping unnecessarily. • Climbing over the curb while parking, or being unable to park legally in three attempts. • Failing to slow or observe adequately at uncontrolled intersections (you must be prepared to yield to drivers to your right). To update your driver’s licence after passing a road test, take the road test permit to a registry agent. The road test permit is not a driver’s licence.
