These are also known as the ‘show me, tell me’ questions.  \nThe examiner will ask you:  \n‘show me’ question, where you have to show them how you’d carry out a check.  \n‘tell me’ question, where you have to explain how you’d carry out the check.  \n‘Show me’ questions  \nShow me how you would check that the direction indicators are working.  \nApplying the indicators or hazard warning switch and go round the car to check functioning of all indicators.  \n(may need to switch ignition on, prompt not to start engine).  \nShow me how you would check the reverse lights are working before starting a journey and explain how would you check reverse lights when engine is running (if you need to switch the ignition on, please don’t start the engine).  \nPut gear on reverse and go out and check the reverse lights (white light) . Alternatively if engine is on you have to back up in front of windows, garage doors, etc and check reflections from mirrors.  \n(may need to switch ignition on, prompt not to start engine).  \n3  \nShow me how you would check the brake lights are working on this car, (if you need to switch the ignition on, please don’t start the engine).  \nOperate brake pedal, make use of reflections in windows, garage doors, etc, or ask someone to help. (may need to switch ignition on, prompt not to start engine).  \n4  \n5  \n6  \n7  \n8  \n9  \nShow me, or explain how you would check that the power assisted steering is working before starting a journey.  \nIf the steering becomes heavy the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey 2 simple checks can be made.  \nGentle pressure on the steering wheel, maintained while the engine is started, should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate.  \nAlternatively turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning.  \nShow me how you would check the parking brake (handbrake) for excessive wear; make sure you keep safe control of the vehicle.  \nMake sure the hand break is fully secured, start the engine, put on first gear and try to move off using the clutch only. If the car moves, the hand break is not securing the car.  \nShow me how you would check that the horn is working.  \nCheck is carried out by using control. (may need to switch ignition on).  \nShow me how you would clean the windscreen using the windscreen washer and wipers.  \nOperate control to clean the windscreen. (may need to switch ignition on).  \nShow me how you would switch on the front and rear fog light(s) and explain when you would use it/them,(no need to exit vehicle).  \nOperate switch (turn on dipped headlights and ignition if necessary) . Check warning light is on. Explain use: we use the fog lights when the visibility is less than 100m.  \nShow me how you switch your headlight from dipped to main beam and explain how you would know the main beam is on.  \nOperate switch to turn on headlights on dipped beam and then pull  \nstick towards you to turn on the main beam. When the warning light on the dashboard is green it means that the dipped lights are on. When the warning light on the dashboard is blue it means that the main beam is on.  \n10  \n11  \n12  \n13  \n14  \n15  \nShow me how you would set the demister controls to clear all the windows effectively.  \nSet all relevant controls including fan, temperature air direction and source, and heated screen to clear windscreen and windows.(Engine does not have to be started for this demonstration)  \n‘Tell me’ questions  \nTell me how you would check that the brakes are working before starting a journey.  \nBrakes pedal should not feel spongy or slack. Alternatively Brakes should be tested as you set off. Vehicle should not pull to one side.  \nTell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly ad","cbCaigpJdZx303YH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigpJdZx303YH","pdf",218241,"English","# Safety Check Questions\n## About the questions\n## Show me questions\n## Tell me questions","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between a “show me” and a “tell me” safety question?\",\"answer\":\"For “show me” questions, you show the examiner how you carry out the check.
