Vehicle LoadingDifficulty: 1/5
You are waiting to load several heavy boxes into your car while parked on a public road. The person bringing the boxes will take a few minutes to arrive. What should you do about your engine while you wait?
Explanation
The Highway Code, Rule 123, states that you MUST NOT leave a parked vehicle unattended with the engine running or leave the engine running unnecessarily while stationary on a public road. If the vehicle is likely to remain stationary for more than a couple of minutes, you should apply the parking brake and switch off the engine to reduce emissions and noise pollution. This also applies when waiting to load or unload your vehicle, unless you are stationary in traffic or diagnosing a fault.
