A serious fault, often referred to as a major fault, during a driving test is a significant error that demonstrates a lack of control, understanding, or awareness that could potentially lead to dangerous situations on the road. These faults are critical in evaluating a learner driver's readiness to operate a vehicle independently and safely. Committing a serious fault typically results in an automatic failure of the driving test, as it indicates that the driver does not yet possess the necessary skills or judgment required for safe driving.
