Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

The wheels need balancing

Excessive road camber

The road surface is uneven

The brakes on the left side are inefficient

Show the answer

The brakes on the left side are inefficientThis was the right answer

Weaker braking on the left can let the stronger right side turn the vehicle right. Pulling is not enough to diagnose a specific component: other faults can also cause it. Stop normal use and have the vehicle checked by a qualified person; do not drive with unsafe brakes.
