Greener Parking
Even something as simple as the way you park your vehicle can have an impact on the environment. Here are small ways you can make a difference:
1. most important: pick the first available spot you come to instead of driving around looking for a closer spot.
2. choose a ‘drive-through’ parking spot if possible, so you can pull out without having to reverse
3. turn off your engine and coast those last few meters into your parking spot (easier with a standard than an automatic). For safety’s sake, be sure the area is clear first, keep your foot ready on the brake, and remember that the steering wheel can lock if you turn the key too far and then try to straighten out the wheel!!
