What are the show me questions?
You will be asked two questions. These are basic safety checks that a driver should carry out to ensure the vehicle is safe for use. Although some checks may involve opening the bonnet to identify where fluid levels would be checked, you will not be asked to touch a hot engine or physically check fluid levels.

Switch electrics on and activate the indicator switch, then look at each light or use hazard warning lights.
