Show me, Tell me
- Will I be asked questions about the car?
- Will I have to open the bonnet and answer questions?
- Yes! - This is called “Show Me, Tell me”.
- You will be asked two questions at the start of the test.
- You may be asked to open the bonnet and point out how you would check fluid levels.
- Do not worry – they are only very simple safety checks and your instructor will cover this information with you.
Driving Test
- The driving test itself normally lasts around 40 minutes.
- There is an eyesight test at the start followed by “Show Me, Tell Me”.
- Your driving test will then follow. It will include one manoeuvre, eg turn in the road, parallel park, bay park or reversing around a corner. It will also include a 10 minute period of ‘independent driving’ on a variety of roads.
- An emergency stop may be included.
- Your instructor will have prepared you for this with a mock test which will imitate the real one, identifying any weaker areas which may need correcting.
