Anyone have any questions?

@godblessolbas Thank you!

@gellarbing Its a "show me question" so you would demo. You would show the examiner that when you apply the handbrake (pressing the button in and lifting the handbrake up) that when it is fully applied it secures itself and is not at the end of its working travel (Doesn't keep going up!) Hope that helps? :) When doing the demo make sure you have you foot on the foot brake so you don't roll away!

@2eyre Headlights are at the front of the vehicle and tail lights are at the rear :)

Top quality video!

@drivingskoolinfo are headlights and tail lights the same thing?

[gellarbing]

This video will really help as I've got my test on Wednesday in a mini, one question though, when checking the handbrake do you release it and then pull it up again or just check to see if it's all the way up?

[Kiwimilochocfish]

Respond to this video... Great!

@Lexielottie00 No they will not fail you. It will be marked down as a minor fault :) You can get 15 minors and still pass your test. 16 minors will fail your test. One serious or one dangerous will also fail your test. Hope that helps! :)

@drivingskoolinfo Thanks this is really useful. I have one question, if you get a question wrong, would they fail you?
