First one hour lesson for £2.

£17 per hour lesson after

 

At the beginning of the driving test the driving

examiner will ask you some questions on driver

maintenance and may ask you to open the bonnet of

the car.  

 

If you are asked to open the bonnet make sure that

when you close it, it is shut securely and that the

bonnet prop is clipped in place properly because

if the bonnet opens whilst you are driving this

could be very dangerous.

 

If the examiner wants you to open the bonnet

he/she is likely to want you to tell them where

the oil filler cap, coolant, screen wash, dipstick

and brake fluid are.

 

Asked: To check the power assisted

steering.

 

You must: after you start the engine if the

steering is hydraulic just rock the

steering back and fore to make sure that

it is light.  If the steering is electric

you must make sure the letters EPS go out

on the dash board before you rock the

steering to see if it light.

 

You must: pull the handbrake up and it should

stop before click number six.  If it goes up past

the end of the ratchet, the cable has probably

snapped.
