You will be asked to demonstrate one show me questions while you are driving on your test.

It is to demonstrate that you can safely use of a car control whilst the wheels are moving- for example be able to put your lights on when it gets dark.

When you drive a different car ensure you make yourself familiar with the locations of the controls.

I recommend watching the DVSA video to familiarise yourself with the basics.

See below the image of the dashboard to show you where the controls are.

  • When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you wash and clean the rear windscreen?
  • When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you wash and clean the front windscreen?
  • When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d switch on your dipped headlights?
  • When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d set the rear demister?
  • 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 demist the front windscreen?
  • When it’s safe to do so, can you show me how you’d open and close the side window?
