The "tell me and show driving test" section is a vital part of the UK driving test, assessing your basic vehicle safety knowledge. At the start of the practical exam, the examiner will ask one "tell me" question (where you explain how you'd perform a safety check) and later, during the drive, one "show me" question (where you demonstrate a safety task while driving). "Tell me" questions could involve checking tyre tread depth, fluid levels, or lights. A "show me" question might require you to operate the windscreen wipers, demister, or dip the headlights while on the move. Thorough preparation for this segment with your instructor is essential, as failing one or both questions will result in a minor fault. Practising these checks regularly ensures you can answer confidently and demonstrate you are a responsible, safety-conscious driver.
