Question 732 in the bank

What is the first thing you need to do after entering the vehicle and before starting to drive?

  1. Correct answer: Make sure the hand-brake is applied and adjust the driver’s seat.
  2. Start the engine and adjust the seat for safe driving.
  3. Adjust the seat besides the driver to allow the passenger coming-in from the right an easy entrance.
  4. Make sure you have an extra set of keys (reserve set) for the vehicle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Make sure the hand-brake is applied and adjust the driver’s seat.

Before driving, make sure the hand brake is applied, so the vehicle does not move while you get settled. Right after that, adjust the driver's seat so you can comfortably reach the pedals and the steering wheel and see well. A well-adjusted seat contributes to control of the vehicle and to safe driving. Spare keys and arranging the seat next to the driver are not the first step.
