Do you fail the driving test for getting a show me tell me question wrong in Northern Ireland?
On the Northern Ireland practical car test, answering one or both vehicle safety questions incorrectly is recorded as one driving fault.
The overall result still depends on your complete driving performance.
These questions test basic vehicle-safety knowledge. They are part of the practical assessment, so candidates should know the controls and routine checks on the car they bring.
Northern Ireland theory tests, practical driving tests and candidate requirements are administered by the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA), so current DVA/nidirect guidance should be used for bookings, documents, fees and test-day rules.
