Mastering the "Show Me, Tell Me" Driving Test Questions As part of the practical driving test, the examiner will ask you two vehicle safety question categories known as the "show me" and "tell me" questions. While seemingly simple, these questions assess crucial knowledge about your car that is essential for safe driving. The "show me" questions require you to physically demonstrate how to carry out a safety task related to your vehicle's controls. For example, the examiner may ask you to "show me how you would set the demisters" or "show me how you would switch on the rear fog light." For the "tell me" questions, you'll need to explain to the examiner the procedures or reasons for performing certain safety-related vehicle checks. Common examples include "tell me how you would check that the headlights and taillights are working" or "tell me how you would know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system." While the questions cover basic car maintenance and safety points, they are easy to stumble on if you don't prepare. Examiners want to see that you have a sound understanding of how to properly operate your vehicle's systems and conduct routine checks. Here are some tips for passing this part of the test: - Study the official DVSA revision materials which list all the potential "show me, tell me" questions - Ask your driving instructor to go over the questions with you during lessons - Practice the physical demonstrations and explanations out loud - Check your vehicle's manual if unsure about the operation of any controls or components Don't let these simple questions throw you off on test day. With proper preparation, you'll be able to confidently demonstrate your vehicle safety knowledge and move one step closer to passing the driving test.

Preperation is Key Proper preparation by reviewing these questions with an instructor and practicing the demonstrations can help prevent simple mistakes. Staying relaxed and taking your time is also key when physically demonstrating your knowledge to the examiner on test day. It is also worth noting at this point. that you must have also completed the multiple choice questions which are part of the Theory Test and include the Hazard perception test prior to taking your practical driving test.
