Do not memorise words

The aim is to understand your own vehicle.

Know your actual controls

Demisters, fog lights, main beam, washer controls and electronic vehicle information systems vary between cars. Practise in the vehicle you expect to use and consult its handbook.

Safety first under the bonnet

Know where oil, coolant, brake fluid and washer-fluid checks are made, but do not open a hot pressurised cooling system or take unsafe actions just to demonstrate knowledge.

Independent practice material: PureCar paraphrases DVA source questions and provides general answer guidance. Your examiner may phrase questions differently and the correct physical control depends on the test vehicle.
