Any advice on the Show Me Tell Me part? Some people are telling me that you get a minor if you get a question wrong. It seems to me that this part is not as important. Am I wrong?

You are correct. This is just to check a candidates knowledge of very basic safety checks. It will not result in a test fail, but it does add to the tally of driver errors or minor faults.

You are correct and incorrect in my view. Yes if you get one of the showme/tellme questions wrong you will pick up a driver fault (if you get both questions wrong then you still only receive 1 driver fault).

The Showme/tellme part not as important? I think that is where you are incorrect!
