‘Tell Me’ and ‘Show Me’ questions for your driving test
You’ll be asked 2 vehicle safety questions during your car driving test.
You’ll get one minor fault if you get one or both questions wrong. You’ll fail if your driving is dangerous while answering a ‘show me’ question.
Brakes should not feel spongy or slack. Brakes should be tested as you set off. The vehicle should not pull to one side.
Manufacturer’s guide, use a reliable pressure gauge, check and adjust pressures when tyres are cold, don’t forget the spare tyre, remember to refit valve caps.
The head restraint should be adjusted so the rigid part of the head restraint is at least as high as the eyes or top of the ears, and as close to the back of the head as is comfortable. Note: Some restraints might not be adjustable.
No cuts or bulges, 1.6mm of tread depth across the central three-quarters of the breadth of the tyre, and around the entire outer circumference of the tyre.
Explain you’d operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), then walk round the vehicle. As this is a ‘tell me’ question, you don’t need to physically check the lights.
The warning light should illuminate if there is a fault with the anti-lock braking system.
Explain you’d operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), then walk round the vehicle. As this is a ‘tell me’ question, you don’t need to physically check the lights.
Explain you’d operate the brake pedal, make use of reflections in windows or doors, or ask someone to help.
If the steering becomes heavy, the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey, 2 simple checks can be made: gentle pressure on the steering wheel maintained while the engine is started should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate. Alternatively, turning the steering wheel just after moving off will indicate that the power assistance is functioning.
Operate the switch (turn on dipped headlights and ignition if necessary). Check the warning light is on. Explain when to use the rear fog light.
Operate the switch (with ignition or engine on if necessary) and check with the main beam warning light.
Identify the dipstick or oil level indicator and check the oil level against the minimum and maximum markers.
Identify the high and low level markings on the header tank where fitted, or the radiator filler cap, and describe how to top up to the correct level.
Identify the brake fluid reservoir and check the level against the high and low markings.
