Why should you avoid parking a petrol or diesel vehicle on dry grass?

701. Why should you avoid parking a petrol or diesel vehicle on dry grass?

The tyres could lose pressure more quickly.
The engine could become difficult to restart.
✓ Hot exhaust components could ignite the vegetation.
The grass could prevent the parking brake from holding.

Parts of the exhaust system, especially the catalytic converter, can become very hot while driving. Parking over dry grass, leaves, or other combustible vegetation can create a fire risk. Park on a suitable non-flammable surface whenever possible.

705. Why should you avoid selecting N while driving downhill in an automatic vehicle?

It applies the parking brake.
✓ It reduces engine braking and vehicle control.
It automatically selects a lower gear.
It increases engine braking.

Selecting N (Neutral) while driving downhill disconnects the engine from the driven wheels, reducing engine braking. Keep an appropriate drive or gear selected so you can maintain better control of the vehicle.

Why is it dangerous to cross between parked cars?

714. Why is it dangerous to cross between parked cars?

You cannot hear approaching traffic between cars.
✓ Drivers may not see you or expect you to cross.
Parked cars make the crossing distance longer.
Pedestrians lose priority when crossing between cars.

Parked vehicles can block the view between pedestrians and drivers. This makes it harder to see approaching traffic and harder for drivers to see you.

✓ Select a lower gear and stop safely to allow the brakes to cool.
Accelerate between bends to reduce brake use.
Switch off the engine to help slow the vehicle.
