    failing to stop at a stop sign, failing to stop at a red traffic light, driving on the wrong side of the road, runnng over pedestrians, speeding...pretty much all the bad ones. Anything that's considered a danger to yourself, pedestrians or other road users, or disregard for traffic controls.

    I received a grade 3 observation fault for not looking out my driver-side window as I was on the corner of the 'reverse around a corner'. I checked all 3 mirrors and my blind spot before moving off, checked all mirrors while reversing, but only checked my driver-side window after having turned the corner. Other than that, I received three grade 2 faults.

    Gutted :(

    That's another one to be careful about, they're on the look out for that check over your shoulder before you start the turn. You must make it BEFORE you begin turning, as the front of your car will swing out. Hard luck Fidelis, that's unfortunate.
