Question 423 · Car theory test
What can be achieved by the driving style known as 'Eco-Driving'?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Reduced fuel consumption.
Official explanation
The advantages of eco-driving include improved road safety, improved fuel consumption, and reduced emissions. The eco-conscious driver becomes a more efficient driver because they learn to read the road further ahead and display better anticipation skills. This reduces the need for harsh acceleration and braking, which results in a more economical style of driving and a smoother drive.
