"Show Me, Tell Me" questions are vehicle safety checks asked during the UK Practical Driving Test. The examiner will ask you one "Tell Me" question at the start of the test before you begin driving, and one "Show Me" question while you are actively on the road.
When asked a "Show Me" question, you must safely perform a practical vehicle control task while on the move. These practical tasks include operating:
- Washing the front windscreen
- Washing the rear window
- Switching on the dipped headlights
- Switching on the rear demister
- Switching on the front demister
- Sounding the horn
- Opening and closing any side window
