Show Me, Tell Me Questions Guide

Are you worried about the show me, tell me questions you’re going to get on your driving test? Perhaps you feel you don’t know enough to get you through. The examiner is going to ask you two questions out of 19 and you won’t know which one he’s going to ask.

We’ve collected the most popular questions most people ask about this aspect of their driving test to help put you at your ease.

Is it possible to fail your driving test completely for not getting the show me tell me questions right?

No, you won’t fail the test based on these questions alone. However, you will incur one minor. There are 15 altogether and if you were to get 16 minors all together then this would mean you’d failed your driving test. It is usually serious faults that cause a driver to fail his test, not by the amount of minors.

The question combinations – how does it work?

There are 13 possible combinations from 19 questions and the driving examiner could ask you any one of them to test your knowledge. Each of these combinations will naturally have one Show Me question and one Tell Me question. The Show me Tell me questions will be relevant to each other.

A Show Me question will involve you actually showing the driving instructor something inside the car engine, or on the dashboard, or beneath the car, in order to demonstrate your knowledge of how a car works and to prove you know what to do in an emergency.
