Question 862 in the bank

What are we required to ensure before starting to drive?

  1. That the fuel and oil types are those required for the proper operation of the vehicle.
  2. Correct answer: That we can operate and use the vehicle proficiently.
  3. That the vehicle has spare bulbs and fuses.
  4. That the vehicle received all the treatment necessary for its current maintenance.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: That we can operate and use the vehicle proficiently.

A driver must know how to operate the vehicle being driven: where the controls are, how they work and how its systems behave, so they can react correctly and in time. This matters especially in a new, rented or unfamiliar type of vehicle. Routine servicing, the right fuel and oils, and spare bulbs are good maintenance practice, but they are not the requirement this question is about.
