SHOW ME QUESTIONS

During your practical driving test the examiner will ask you two questions. The first question will be a 'tell me' question, this is normally asked at the beginning of the test before you've even set off. The tell me question is to make sure you know the basics about your car to keep you and other road users safe. The second question is a 'show me' question, this will be asked while you are driving. The show me question is to make sure you can keep driving safely while you open a window or wash the rear window and other tasks.
