You are driving on a rural single-track road with several passing places. A car is coming towards you downhill, and there is a passing place on your left a short distance ahead. What should you do to drive in an environmentally responsible way?

Explanation

On single-track roads, the Highway Code (Rule 155) advises you to use passing places and to give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. By slowing down and pulling into a passing place on your left, you avoid unnecessary stopping and harsh acceleration for both vehicles, which reduces fuel use and emissions. Driving smoothly, planning ahead and avoiding sudden braking or acceleration are all part of environmentally responsible driving.
