Teaching points
- Remember in order to drive a vehicle on a public road, the battery and your electrical wiring needs to be safe and secure. Because remember, loose batteries or exposed wires, that can cause fires, that can cause accidents, and all of that is going to make the vehicle illegal to drive. Therefore, the correct answer would be option C.
- The correct answer would be option A, a speedometer that is in good working order. And that's basically to ensure that the driver of the vehicle can monitor his speed and he can comply with all speed limits.
- Remember driving with tyres that have a slight discolouration or minor dirt or mud, that's not going to be illegal, right? But if you are driving a vehicle with one tread below the legal minimum depth, that is going to be illegal. Therefore, option A would be correct.
- Leaving the vehicle switched on while refueling, that can cause a fire, right? And not only a fire, it can also cause an explosion due to the fuel vapors. That's why the engine needs to be switched off while you are refueling. Therefore, option C is going to be correct.
