Show Me Tell Me Questions – Automatic Driving Lessons Newbury

This edition is a continuation from a previous blog post which will go through the 14 possible ‘Show Me, Tell Me’ Questions you could be asked during your practical test in Newbury.

4. 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 the road.

A: Tread depth should measure 1.6mm across the central 3/4 of the breadth of the tyre, and around the outer circumference of the tyre. Look for bulges or cuts.

5. Tell me how you’d know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system.

A: The warning light should illuminate on the dashboard if there is a fault with the anti-lock braking system.

6. Tell me how you’d check the direction the indicators are working.

A: Explain how you would operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), and then walk round vehicle to examine (as this is a ‘tell me’ question, you don’t need to get out and check the lights).

7. Tell me how you’d check that the headlights and tail lights are working.

A: You would operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), then walk round vehicle (likewise with the previous answer, you don’t have to actually show how it is done).
