2024 ‘Show Me, Tell Me' Questions | UK Driving Test

This video covers the 21 new 'Show Me, Tell Me' Questions that are used on the current UK Driving Test.

As part of the UK driving test, the examiner will ask 2 vehicle safety questions about the car being used for the test. At the start of the test, before the driving starts there will be a ‘tell me’ question - where you would describe how you’d carry out a safety task. Then, later on, while you’re driving the car, there will be a ‘show me’ question - where you would show how you’d carry out another safety task.

took my test today & passed first time with only 5 minors- i watched these videos the night before and they super helped me to just seal all the info in my memory. i found the test really easy & if you just treat it like a normal lesson but with a new instructor it’s not bad at all!! good luck everyone else w your tests x

[nagzvevo]

Things your instructor never go's over yet should!

These practical tests in the UK are getting ridiculous. These questions should have been asked in the theory test. A practical test is to test your actual driving skills on the road and not asking questions which can easily be included in the theory test.

Tell Me Questions:

Tell me how would you check if the brakes are working fine
- The brake pedal should feel firm, not spongy. And also car should not pull to one side as it stops

Tell me where you’d find the information for the recommended tyre pressure for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked.
- I would look inside the driver’s door and check the tyre pressure information sticker then check the tyres with a pressure gauge when the tyres are cold. Compare the gauge reading to the sticker and remember to check all the four tyres and the spare tyre if fitted.

Tell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash.
- I would check and adjust head restraint until it is approximately levelled to the top of your head

Tell me how you’d check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road
- I would check all four tyres all the way around using a tread depth gauge to check the central 3 quarters of the tyre. They must be at least 1.6mm to be legal. We should also check the sidewall of the tyre for damage. There should not be any cuts or bulges.

Tell me how you’d check that the headlights and taillights are working.
- I would turn on the car’s ignition and the instrument should light up, then turn on the dipped headlamps and check the warning lamps have illuminated. Finally, walk around the car to check the headlamps and tail lamps are working correctly.

Tell me how you’d know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system.
- I would turn on the car’s ignition and look for the yellow abs warning light if the light continues to stay lit, it indicates that there is a problem with the ABS system.


Tell me how you’d check the direction indicators are working. You don’t need to exit the vehicle.
- I would switch on the hazard warning lights, then walk around the car and check all the 6 indicators are working correctly.


Tell me how you would check the brake lights are working on this car.
- I would turn on the car’s ignition and then push and hold the brake pedal to illuminate brake lights

Tell me how you’d check the power assisted steering is working before starting the journey.
- The steering will feel very heavy with the engine turned off, but after starting the engine, the engine should feel much lighter.

Tell me how you’d switch the rear fog light and explain when you’d use them
- I would turn on the car’s ignition and then switch on the dipped headlamps. Next, switch on the rear fog lamp and check the amber warning light is lit.
Fog lamps should only be used when the visibility is less than 100 meters.

Tell me how you’d switch your headlights from dipped to main beam and explain how you’d know the main beam is on.
- I would turn on the car’s ignition and switch on the dipped headlamps then switch on the headlamps the main beam. The blue warning light confirms the main beam is on.

Tell me how you’d check that the engine has sufficient oil.
- Pull the bonnet release inside the car to pop the bonnet up. Open the bonnet and secure the stay. Remove the engine oil dipstick, wipe the dipstick clean. Replace and remove the dipstick again and check the oil level against the maximum and minimum marking.

Tell me how you’d check that the engine has sufficient engine coolant.
- Pull the bonnet release inside the car to pop the bonnet up. Open the bonnet and secure the stay. Identify the engine coolant reservoir. Check the fluid level against the markings.

Tell me how you’d check that you have a safe level of hydraulic brake fluid.
- Pull the bonnet release inside the car to pop the bonnet up. Open the bonnet and secure the stay. Identify the brake fluid reservoir. Check the fluid level against the markings.

Show me Questions

When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d switch on the dipped headlights?
- Switch on the dipped headlamps and check the 2 green warning lights illuminate.

When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d wash and clear the front/rear windscreen?
When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d demist the front/rear windscreen?
When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d operate the horn?
When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you ‘d open the side windows?

Each question is explained clearly, calmly, the narration unhurried, with appropriate emphasis being on location of controls, icons, etc (I know every car is said to be different, but most are basically the same and mainly it's just small style details that differ). Time has been taken to allow viewers to take in the information properly, and we're not hurled along from question to question with the briefest glimpse of what to do.
This is very well done and I feel much more confident in approaching this part of my forthcoming test. I sincerely thank you :)

[bonniemusicuk]

I passed my driving test today, and your videos helped me so much and gave me a better understanding and more confidence regarding the show me tell me questions, thankyou so much:)!

[joannemuturi_purposecultivator]

I binge watched these videos and I passed this time round! Oh sweet victory! I appreciate your very helpful and professional videos and will keep watching them to refresh my memory.

[oldaccount]

Thank you so much for this video. I thought not knowing either or one of the questions would lead to an immediate fail, after watching hours worth of show me tell mes I realised your video was definitely the most useful, clear and understandable video. I really really appreciate it !!

[charlesholland-keen]

As always a clearly explained and very useful video. I think that quite a number of 'qualified' drivers could benefit from watching this video and many of the other videos on this channel.

[uki]

I passed my test in first attempt with just 1 minor fault. Thank you very much for all the videos. It helped me a lot.

[mohamedtakow]

[cpouk]

Very useful, well demonstrated! love your videos as they are my most fav ones on youtube

[marimartin]

I want to say Thank you because I watched many of your videos like how to join motorways, how to approach roundabouts, parallel parking, reverse park on the bay, how to drive in motorways, and also mock tests, and I just have my driving test today and I passed!!! Your videos helped a lot and they provide more information than we could expect. Thank you very much for all your help!!!

[benimo]

Thanks for these, I passed today with only 2 minors! This video really helped out, I think looking up the questions and trying to memorise them is one thing, but seeing you demonstrate each answer visually really gave me the needed boost to answer these questions with more confidence :)

[halahoho]

Thank you very much
I’ve passed my driving test today
And your videos helped me very much

[ButterflySimmer]
