Car Safety Questions

Vehicle safety questions ‘Show Me, Tell Me’: The examiner will ask you one 'show me’ question, where you'll have to show them how you'd carry out a vehicle safety check. You'll also be asked one 'tell me' question, where you'll have to explain to the examiner how you'd carry out the check. If you give the wrong answer for one or both questions, you'll be marked with one driving fault.
