How many show me tell me questions are on the Northern Ireland car driving test?

The examiner asks two vehicle safety questions: one show me question and one tell me question.

The Northern Ireland practical car test includes two vehicle safety questions. One is a show me question and the other is a tell me question.

Getting one or both wrong is recorded as one driving fault rather than an automatic fail.

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.
