Prepare for your practical driving test with all DVSA Show Me questions. Learn how to demonstrate the vehicle controls safely while driving.
What are the Show Me questions?
During your practical driving test, the examiner will ask you one Show Me question while you're driving.
You'll need to demonstrate how to use a vehicle control safely, such as operating the windscreen wipers, switching on the headlights or using the demisters.
There are 7 possible Show Me questions.
Important: Only carry out the action when it's safe. Keep control of the vehicle and pay attention to the road.
Practise these controls with your driving instructor before your test, as their positions may differ between cars.
