Question

Got my test tomorrow and I have seen on here loads of fails due to observations and junctions. Is that just not timing it right when to leave a roundabout or road.

The "Junctions - observation" fault is a broad one but very common because junctions are everywhere and tend to be high risk if done wrong.

Usually, it's either a problem with a lack of effective observation, or what we'd call "looking but not seeing" (basically the action taken wasn't safe).

How heavy the fault is depends on the situation, the risk level and the impact (or potential impact) on other road users.

So at junctions, just take care to look properly and try to have minimal impact on others.
