From 10 September 2008, if you’re sitting a driving test, you’ll also be assessed on your ability to drive or ride in a way that shows eco-safe driving techniques.

This assessment is not part of the existing assessment criteria for the practical test and you will not fail your test because you don’t demonstrate eco-safe driving techniques.

The driving examiner will assess control and planning, and at the end of the test will give you feedback, as guidance, on how efficiently you’re driving.

Control

Always try to use the vehicle controls as smoothly as possible, with particular attention to:

starting and moving away
accelerating
using gears
driving at an appropriate speed

This reduces wear and tear on your vehicle and will help in reducing CO2.

Planning

Reduce harmful emissions by anticipating road traffic conditions and acting in good time, rather than reacting to them at the last moment, especially:

Showing hazard awareness and planning
Making use of engine braking
Stopping the engine when appropriate
Tips for ‘eco-safe’ driving and riding

Follow these tips as a guide to safe driving or riding for economy:

Check your tyres regularly and keep at recommended pressure
Don’t carry unnecessary weight
Remove roof-rack or luggage boxes when not needed to reduce air resistance
Don’t exceed speed limits, accelerate gently
Consider using cruise control where it would be appropriate
Turn off your engine if you’re likely to have a prolonged wait
Use air conditioning only when you need to
Plan your route to avoid known congestion points
Try to travel during off-peak times
