Home >> Driving Test Safety Questions

These are questions the examiner will ask you at the start of your driving test. Having signed the declaration of residency & insurance (driving test report)) you will then walk towards your car and be asked to read a car number plate at 20.5 metres. You will then proceed to your own car and before entering it the examiner will ask you two questions about your car. Here is the full list of questions that the examiner will choose two questions from. They are called SHOW ME TELL ME questions. This means that the examiner will say "SHOW ME" & you have to do something such as switch on the cars headlights or "TELL ME" & in this case you have to explain something, such as the condition of the cars tyres.

Written below are explanations for you to learn from & understand the correct method of carrying out each task when you have passed your driving test. The examiner is not expecting you to be word perfect on any of the subjects, so long as you convey to the examiner in your own words that you understand the car safety checks you will be ok.
