Question 1747 · Truck theory test
Which action contributes to eco-driving?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Maintaining a steady speed.
Official explanation
One of the many advantages of maintaining a steady speed includes increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved driver safety. 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 journey.
