Common Driving Mistakes in Olton
Learners in Olton often make mistakes when moving between quieter residential roads and busier commuter routes, including:
- Entering the Warwick Road (A41) without building enough speed to match the traffic flow
- St Margaret’s Road / Kineton Green Road: Cutting corners is a frequent fault where drivers tend to swing too far to the right when turning right into these roads from narrower side streets, posing a danger to oncoming vehicles.
- Speed Mismanagement on Lode Lane and Richmond Road: Breaking the speed limit or driving unnecessarily slowly after turning onto a new road. Missing a speed limit sign is one of the quickest ways to fail a test in the B92/B91 areas.
