Is there some reason that the character is under duress? Trying to control a horse while traversing up a narrow and treacherous mountain pass might (at the GM's discretion) require a roll.
Likewise, trying to run to a car an escape from an angry mob piling onto the outside of a vehicle might require a driving roll.
Page 8 of Basic Set: Characters mentions this. It is also mentioned at the top-right corner of page 171. (Campaigns elaborates further.)
"...what happens if I fail?"
That depends.
What is the situation? What was the character attempting to do? Did you fail by a little bit or fail by a lot?

Very GM dependent so the game I am in is a series of checks, albeit with modifiers but it is becoming tedious and a comedy of errors. Not much time to adventure.
