After you have satisfied the driving examiner with the eye sight test of 20.5 metres the examiner will ask you to proceed to your mini and open the bonnet for the show me tell me questions.

The driving examiner will have a set of 2 questions from a combination of 12. You must correctly answer both questions otherwise each wrong answer will count as a minor mistake. More importantly this gives a very bad impression before you've even started the vehicle.

The questions:


Q1) Open the bonnet and identify where you would check the engine oil level and tell me how you would check that the engine has sufficient oil?


Q2) Open the bonnet and identify where you would check the engine coolant level and tell me how you would check that the engine has the correct level?

Q3) Identify where the windscreen washer reservoir is and tell me how you would check the windscreen washer level?


Q4) Open the bonnet and identify where the brake fluid reservoir is and tell me how you would check that you have a safe level of hydraulic brake fluid?


Q5) Tell me how you would check that the brake lights are working on this car?

Q6) Tell me how you would check that the brakes are working before starting a journey?

Q7) Tell me where you would find the information for the recommended tyre presssures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked?

Q8) Tell me how you would check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road?

Q9) Show me and explain how you would check that the power-assisted steering is working before starting a journey?

Q10) Show me how you would check that the headlights and tail lights are working?

Q11) Show me how you would check that the direction indicators are working?
