Question 1054 in the bank

What is the driver required to check before starting to drive?

  1. Correct answer: That none of the dashboard’s (control panel)warning lights are turned on.
  2. Engine air pressure, cleanliness of windshields and proper function of the air-conditioning system.
  3. The driver is only supposed to drive the vehicle. All checks should be performed in a garage only.
  4. Level of windshield cleaning fluid and proper function of the lighting system only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: That none of the dashboard’s (control panel)warning lights are turned on.

Dashboard warning lights alert the driver to faults such as low oil pressure, brake problems or overheating. That is why, before setting off, the driver should make sure none of them is on. Checking the vehicle is the driver's own responsibility, not only the garage's, and it is not limited to washer fluid and lights. Air conditioning is not an essential safety check.
