Driving test questions
You will be asked two driving test questions during your driving test, the questions were previously known as show me tell me questions, however with the new driving test there are also some changes to the questions asked on the test.
You will still be asked one tell me question at the beginning of your test, but you will be asked the show me question whilst you are driving. It is also a legal requirement that you answer these questions.
As before the tell me question will be asked at the start and the questions are generally common sense.
The tell me question will be asked whilst the vehicle is moving and it is important that you are able to demonstrate the answer without losing any control of your vehicle.
If you are unsure where the relevant controls are then it is fine to pull over on the side of the road to have a look, after doing this you will be asked again to show the examiner while the vehicle is moving.
These driving test questions are not designed to catch you out the answers are simple and straight forward.
There are some questions which you will need to open the bonnet of the car to show the examiner where items are. With this in mind it is vital that you are shown by your instructor how to open the bonnet. The last thing you want on your test day is to be fumbling around looking for the bonnet catch.
