During the driving test your examiner will ask you one show me question (whilst you are driving) and one tell me question (before the test commences) about the operation of the car.
It is important that you know how the car works, so please don’t feel that time spent covering this subject during your lesson is wasted. However, you can spend less time covering this subject if you revise the questions in your own time, so here they are.
Tell me:
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 give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning.
You need to open the bonnet and tell the examiner how you’d do the check if you’re asked question 12, 13 or 14.
Show me:
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you wash and clean the rear windscreen ?
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you wash and clean the front windscreen ?
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d switch on your dipped headlights ?
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d set the rear demister ?
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d operate the horn ?
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d demist the front windscreen ?
- When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d open and close the side window ?
