Sarah,
Normally stalling the car would not result in an immediate fail. Say for example, you are at the traffic lights and your car is at a total stop. You are now waiting for the green signal to go but when you are about to move on, you stall the car. This will normally be recorded as a minor driving fault. However if you are travelling at 40mph on a dual carriageway and while changing gears, for some reason you stall the car, then this could result in a dangerous driving fault as it could potentially lead to a very serious accident.
