Which of the following about driving an electric or hybrid vehicle is NOT correct?
An electric or hybrid car can move at once in its ready-to-drive state even if it makes no sound, and when leaving the vehicle you must take steps to prevent an accident (Article 49(1)6 of the Road Traffic Act). Judging by engine sound whether it is on is dangerous, and note that this question asks for the incorrect statement.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Electric and hybrid cars move as soon as the accelerator is pressed when they are in the ready-to-drive (READY) state, even with no sound, so judging by engine noise is dangerous. Under Road Traffic Act Article 49(1)6, a driver leaving the car must take measures to prevent accidents, so put it in P, apply the parking brake and switch off the power. Their quietness at low speed calls for extra attention to pedestrians.
