During your practical test you'll be asked two vehicle safety questions. One is a 'tell me' question, asked before you start driving. The other is a 'show me' question, asked while you're driving.
Common tell me questions
- 1Tell me how you'd check the brakes are working before starting a journey.
- 2Tell me how you'd check the tyres have sufficient tread depth and are in good condition.
- 3Tell me where you'd find the information for the recommended tyre pressures.
- 4Tell me how you'd check the headlights and tail lights are working.

- 2When it's safe to do so, show me how you'd switch on your dipped headlights.
- 3When it's safe to do so, show me how you'd demist the rear windscreen.
