Tell me how you would check that the: brake lights are working on this car. brakes are working before starting a journey. tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road. the power assisted steering is working before starting a journey. Show me how you would check the: headlights & taillights are working. direction indicators are working. horn is working (off road only). handbrake for excessive wear.
