Vehicle MaintenanceDifficulty: 2/5

You are driving in a city centre and your electric vehicle is moving slowly in traffic. There are pedestrians walking close to the road and near tram tracks. What is the MOST important additional safety measure you should take because your vehicle is electric?

Explanation

Highway Code Rule 224 states you should be careful of electric vehicles such as milk floats and trams, as they can move quickly and very quietly. When driving an electric vehicle, pedestrians may not hear you approaching, so you must be particularly alert, reduce speed if needed, and be ready to stop. You should not rely on your horn or flashing headlights as a routine warning, and you must never increase speed to get past vulnerable road users or tram tracks more quickly.
