I think they go down as minors, but if you get all three wrong it counts as a major; therefore a fail.

Looks like I was wrong, they only count as minors...

Vehicle safety questions

These are basic safety checks that a driver should carry out to ensure the vehicle is safe for use. Although some checks may involve the candidate in opening the bonnet to identify where fluid levels would be checked, pupils will not be asked to touch a hot engine or physically check fluid levels.

As vehicle technology advances, more and more vehicles are being equipped with electronic diagnostic systems, which inform the driver of the state of the engine fluid levels and tyre pressures. It will be acceptable for a candidate to refer to the vehicle information system (if fitted) when answering questions on fluid levels or tyre pressures.

You can find source material in the DSA publication 'The official guide to Driving - the essential skills' and 'The official DSA guide to learning to drive'. Advice and information on how to carry out vehicle safety checks can also be found in the manufacturer's handbook.

Candidates will be asked two questions, one 'show me' and one 'tell me'. One or both questions answered incorrectly will result in one driving fault being recorded.

The wierdest one is "How do you check the power steering is working?". The answer is simply "The steering wheel moves". Ridiculous.

These are all the questions they can choose from:

Q1. Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine oil level and tell me how you would check that the engine has sufficient oil.

Q2. Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine coolant level and tell me how you would check that the engine has the correct level.

Q3. Identify where the windscreen washer reservoir is and tell me how you would check the windscreen washer level.

Q4. Open the bonnet, identify where the brake fluid reservoir is and tell me how you would check that you have a safe level of hydraulic brake fluid.

Q5. Tell me how you would check that the brake lights are working on this car.

Q6. Tell me how you would check that the brakes are working before starting a journey.

Q7. Tell me where you would find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked.

Q8. Tell me how you would check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and their general condition is safe to use on the road.

Q9. Show me / explain how you would check that the power assisted steering is working before starting a journey.

Q10. Show me how you would check that the headlights and tail lights are working.

Q11. Show me how you would check that the direction indicators are working.

It was well annoying that put all that shit in as I was doing my driving lessons.

I book my theory test and next driving lesson I'm told they've added a hazard perception test into it, my driving instructor has never seen it....and none of his students have taken it yet!

Book my pracitcal test, get told a week before that I will be asked questions about what is in the bonnet and all that jaz....

Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, 12:33:00
That sounds like your instructor was being shit. Surely he should have known they were bringing this new thing in? I don't think they suddenly went "Surprise".
