Here are all the Show me and Tell me Questions for the practical driving test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will two parts to the new questions, the Tell me questions will be done at the start of the driving test and the show me questions will be done as you drive around, there will only be one question from each part, I have put two video links in for you to get the idea but all cars will vary slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Tell me\u2019 questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Tell me how you\u2019d check that the brakes are working before starting a journey.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Brakes should not feel spongy or slack. Brakes should be tested as you set off. Vehicle should not pull to one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Tell me where you\u2019d find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Manufacturer\u2019s guide, use a reliable pressure gauge, check and adjust pressures when tyres are cold, don\u2019t forget spare tyre, remember to refit valve caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Tell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        The head restraint should be adjusted so the rigid part of the head restraint is at least as high as the eye or top of the ears, and as close to the back of the head as is comfortable. Note: Some restraints might not be adjustable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Tell me how you\u2019d check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          No cuts and bulges, 1.6mm of tread depth across the central three-quarters of the breadth of the tyre, and around the entire outer circumference of the tyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Tell me how you\u2019d check that the headlights and tail lights are working. You don\u2019t need to exit the vehicle.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Explain you\u2019d operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), then walk round vehicle (as this is a \u2018tell me\u2019 question, you don\u2019t need to physically check the lights).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. Tell me how you\u2019d know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Warning light should illuminate if there is a fault with the anti-lock braking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1. Tell me how you\u2019d check the direction indicators are working. You don\u2019t need to exit the vehicle.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Explain you\u2019d operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), and then walk round vehicle (as this is a \u2018tell me\u2019 question, you don\u2019t need to physically check the lights).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                1. Tell me how you\u2019d check the brake lights are working on this car.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Explain you\u2019d operate the brake pedal, make use of reflections in windows or doors, or ask someone to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  1. Tell me how you\u2019d check the power-assisted steering is working before starting a journey.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    If the steering becomes heavy, the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey, 2 simple checks can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Gentle pressure on the steering wheel, maintained while the engine is started, should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate. Alternatively turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. Tell me how you\u2019d switch on the rear fog light(s) and explain when you\u2019d use it\/them. You don\u2019t need to exit the vehicle.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      Operate switch (turn on dipped headlights and ignition if necessary). Check warning light is on. Explain use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      1. Tell me how you switch your headlight from dipped to main beam and explain how you\u2019d know the main beam is on.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        Operate switch (with ignition or engine on if necessary), check with main beam warning light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        1. Open the bonnet and tell me how you\u2019d check that the engine has sufficient oil.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          Identify dipstick\/oil level indicator, describe check of oil level against the minimum and maximum markers. (The Large orange item at the front of the engine under the Nissan sign in Photo underneath )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          1. Open the bonnet and tell me how you\u2019d check that the engine has sufficient engine coolant.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            Identify high and low level markings on header tank where fitted or radiator filler cap, and describe how to top up to correct level. (The white container with the Black cap and white triangle on the left of the engine in Photo underneath )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
