That was my understanding of it too, in fact I have driven around after failing a test.
It was only the 'exhaust to loud' which I failed on, so I just went somewhere else an passed straight away.
Obviously if you fail on bald tyres and stuff, then continue to drive and get pulled you're in trouble.
