You will need to tell the examiner how to switch from dipped beam to main beam.
You need to see the blue light on the dashboard.
You use the main beam when there is nothing ahead that could be dazzled by you, this includes other road users, including beaming in their rear view mirrors.
Remember you can dazzle someone a long way off ahead.
It also includes residential houses.
You need to explain that when the power steering is not working the steering will feel heavy.
With the engine on, move the steering wheel to show the examiner that it is light.
