Show Me / Tell Me – Vehicle Safety Questions
On the day of your driving test, you’ll be asked 2 vehicle safety questions. These are also known as the ‘show me, tell me’ questions. There are a total of 19 questions which the examiner can choose from.
These questions are fairly straight forward and nothing to worry about. Your Rio driving instructor will go through this with you. The questions are really designed to test your knowledge on simple vehicle checks you should be carrying out to maintain safety on the road.

Once You’ve Passed Your Test
Firstly, congratulations on passing with Rio Driving School. Remember that this is just the beginning – and throughout the next 12 months, you will really be put to the test! You will no doubt face all sorts of different driving conditions and meet many challenges along the way.
It is a very good idea to enroll on Pass Plus. Rio Driving Tuition can offer you this course, and it covers the following topics:
- introduction and town driving
- all-weather driving
- out of town driving and rural roads
- night driving
- dual carriageways
- motorway driving
While you will have covered a lot of these topics during your driving lessons the Pass Plus course emphasizes a positive approach to driving. The focus is on attitude and skills and gives a different perspective on these topics and will enhance your abilities. Statistics show that new drivers are around 10 times more likely to be involved in an accident, and regrettably, two drivers under the age of 25 die every day in crashes in the UK.
Roughly 20% of new drivers will be involved in an accident during their first year behind the wheel – that’s why insurance premiums are so high.
Car Insurance Discounts: With Pass Plus, you could reduce your car insurance premiums or get an extra no claims bonus with some insurance companies.
