Traffic rules
Explanation
To reduce **pollutant emissions** in gasoline engine vehicles, it is advisable to **start the journey immediately after starting the engine**. This is because:
- **Vehicles pollute** by producing toxic gases that are released into the atmosphere. By starting the journey immediately, the engine is prevented from idling, which reduces the amount of pollutant gases emitted.
- **Not accelerating abruptly** when the vehicle is stationary and starts moving again is a measure to pollute less. By starting the journey immediately, the need to accelerate abruptly is avoided, which contributes to more efficient and less polluting driving.
- The use of **technologies such as the Start-Stop system** helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions by automatically stopping the engine when the vehicle is stationary. Although this system is not directly mentioned in the context of starting the engine, it illustrates the importance of minimizing the time the engine is running unnecessarily.
Therefore, by starting the journey immediately after starting the engine, more efficient and less polluting driving is achieved.
