Description
REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF TRANSPORT, CONSTRUCTION AND MARITIME ECONOMY1) of 13 July 2012
on the training of persons applying for a driving licence, instructors and lecturers (item 1019)
Explanation
Correct answer: Accelerate to such speed in lower gear that after switching to the next gear the vehicle does not jerk and does not choke.
The correct technique for accelerating a vehicle involves smoothly accelerating in a given gear until the appropriate engine speed is reached, and then changing to a higher gear. Changing gear too early can cause the engine to "labour" and jerk, and is also uneconomical. Smooth acceleration is the basis of eco-driving.
