Dangerous actions such as:

• Requiring emergency braking or swerving by another driver, or dodging by a pedestrian to prevent collision
• Requiring the instructor or testing officer to come to your aid in controlling the car
• Driving any wheel over the curb or onto the footpath
• Committing any driving fault which causes immediate danger to any person or property
• Lack of control to the point where the testing officer believes continuing the assessment would be dangerous

Speed Limits

Driving over the speed limit for more than 5 consecutive seconds from when speeding is verified.
