Vehicle Safety Questions
The vehicle safety checks are basic safety checks
you carry out to check the vehicle is safe for use.
Some checks may involve identifying where fluid
levels would be checked but you would never have to
physically carry the checks out. You will be asked
two questions one “Show me” and one “Tell Me “
question, if you were to get either or both
questions wrong it would be marked as a driving
fault. It is acceptable to refer to the vehicles
computer system if it informs you of when checks
need to be made if the vehicle has these
capabilities. |
