Which of the following about checks done around the car and from the driver's seat before departure is NOT correct?
💡 Hint
You must not drive a vehicle whose devices are not properly maintained (Article 40 of the Road Traffic Act), and before setting off you check for signs of trouble such as leaks under the car, tire damage and dashboard warning lights. Note that lights signal to the car behind even in daytime, and that this question asks for the incorrect statement.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Brake lights tell following drivers you are slowing down even in daytime, and driving with a broken one can count as driving a poorly maintained vehicle, which Road Traffic Act Article 40 prohibits. Leak marks under the car, tire damage and warning lights that stay on are early clues to a fault, so check them before setting off.
