SHOW ME, TELL ME Driving Lessons In Oxford
According to DVSA ”You’ll be asked 2 vehicle safety questions during your car driving test.
The examiner will ask you one:
‘tell me’ question (where you explain how you’d carry out a safety task) at the start of your test, before you start driving
‘show me’ question (where you show how you’d carry out a safety task) while you’re driving
You’ll get one driving fault (sometimes called a ‘minor’) if you get one or both questions wrong”
Driving Test: “Tell Me” Questions
Before Starting a Journey: Check the Brakes
Q1: How would you check if the brakes are working properly before a journey?
A1: To ensure the brakes are working properly, press the brakes to check if they are not spongy or slack. When setting off, test the brakes and make sure the vehicle does not pull to one side.
Check the Tire Pressure
Q2: Where can you find the recommended tire pressure for your car and how do you check the tire pressure?
A2: You can find the recommended tire pressure in the manufacturer’s guide. Use a reliable tire gauge to check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Don’t forget to check the spare tire and make sure to replace the valve caps.
Adjust the Headrest for Maximum Protection
Q3: How do you make sure your headrest is properly adjusted for maximum protection in the event of a crash?
A3: To adjust the headrest for maximum protection, make sure the rigid part is at least as high as your eye level or the top of your ears and as close to the back of your head as is comfortable. Please note that some headrests may not be adjustable.
Check the Tires for Safety
Q4: How do you check the tires for proper tread depth and overall safety?
A4: To check the tires for proper tread depth and safety, look for cuts and bulges and make sure there is at least 1.6mm of tread depth across the central three-quarters of the tire and around the entire circumference.
Check the Lights Without Leaving the Vehicle
Q5: How can you check the headlights and tail lights without leaving the vehicle?
A5: To check the headlights and tail lights without leaving the vehicle, turn on the switch (including the ignition if necessary) and walk around the vehicle to observe if the lights are working. Please note, you do not need to physically check the lights for a “tell me” question.
Anti-Lock Braking System
Q6: How would you know if there is a problem with your anti-lock braking system?
A6: If there is a fault with the anti-lock braking system, a warning light should appear on the dashboard.
Check the Direction Indicators Without Leaving the Vehicle
Q7: How can you check the direction indicators without leaving the vehicle?
A7: To check the direction indicators without leaving the vehicle, turn on the switch (including the ignition if necessary) and walk around the vehicle to observe if the indicators are working. Please note, you do not need to physically check the lights for a “tell me” question.
Check brake lights
Q8: How do you check if the brake lights are working on your car?
A8: Press the brake pedal and observe the reflections in windows or doors, or ask someone to assist.
Check steering is working
Q9: How do you check if the power-assisted steering is working before a journey?
A9: If the steering feels heavy, it may indicate a problem with the system. Before starting a journey, make two simple checks: (1) apply gentle pressure on the steering wheel and start the engine to feel a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate; or (2) turn the steering wheel just after moving off to check if the power assistance is functioning.
Check fog lights
Q10: How do you turn on the rear fog lights and when would you use them?
A10:“Turn on the switch (including the dipped headlights and ignition if necessary) and make sure the warning light is on. Use the rear fog lights when visibility is poor and it is necessary to use lights that are brighter than normal tail lights to warn following drivers of your presence.”
headlights lights
Q11: How do you switch from dipped to main beam headlights and how do you know the main beam is on?
A11: Turn on the switch (including the ignition or engine if necessary) and check the main beam warning light to confirm the main beam is on.
engine coolant

A12: Identify the high and low level markings on the header tank (if equipped) or the radiator filler cap, and explain how
