NEW videos have been published to help budding drivers prepare for upcoming changes to the driving test.
With less than three months until the driving test changes, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has published new videos about the updated “show me, tell me” driving test questions.
During the test, examiners ask candidates two vehicle safety questions – these are known as the “show me, tell me” questions – but while both questions are currently asked at the start of the test, from December 4 candidates will have to carry out the “show me” question while they are driving.
DVSA chief driving examiner Lesley Young said: “DVSA’s priority is to help you through a lifetime of safe driving. Asking a ‘show me’ question while driving will be valuable preparation for real life driving.”
“It’s important that learner drivers work with their driving instructor to make sure they can operate the in car-controls safely whilst they’re driving.
“Combined with practice with an instructor, these new official videos will help you learn the skills you need to do these tasks.”More information about the changes is available at gov.uk/government/news/driving-test-changes-4-december-2017.
