Which driving habit contributes most effectively to reducing environmental pollution and consumption?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is driving smoothly, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration. This technique is known as 'eco-driving'. By avoiding abrupt speed changes, the engine operates in a more stable and optimal range, burning less fuel and emitting fewer harmful gases (such as CO2 and NOx). Why the other options are incorrect: 'Maintain constant speed without variation': While constant speed is ideal, it is impossible and dangerous to maintain 'always' due to changing traffic and road conditions. The key is smoothness, not rigidity. 'Use public transport as little as possible': This is counterproductive. Using collective transport is one of the best ways to reduce global pollution by decreasing the number of private vehicles on the road.
