FAQ: “Show Me, Tell Me” Vehicle Safety Questions
From September 1, 2007, all driving test candidates must answer two questions related to the operation and maintenance of their vehicle during their test. One question will require an explanation, while the other will involve a practical demonstration. Below is the complete list of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) “Show Me, Tell Me” questions for the car test, along with the correct responses you are expected to provide. For more information and guidance please contact us at Poets Corner School of Motoring, or have a look at our success stories for reassurance.

I've been driving with Poets Corner for a while and recently passed my first driving test. I passed with flying colours, no doubt due to Steve's instructions. He's by far the best teacher I've had and manages to apply exactly the right amount of pressure. He is very friendly and talkative, and I would recommend him to everyone.
