You’re checking your vehicle before a long journey. Which maintenance action best reflects your responsibility under Rule 204 of the Highway Code to reduce danger to vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists?

Explanation

Rule 204 of the Highway Code states that those who can cause the greatest harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger they pose to others, especially vulnerable road users. Proper vehicle maintenance, including fitting suitable, correctly aligned headlights and keeping all lights clean, helps you to see and be seen without causing unnecessary glare. This reduces risk to pedestrians, cyclists and others. The other options either misuse lighting or tyre pressures in ways that could increase danger rather than reduce it.
