What should you consider after starting your vehicle?

In this case, you chose to consider allowing the engine to warm up and driving at low engine speeds, which are important for vehicle operation. However, it's crucial to also drive off as promptly as possible when starting your vehicle.

Driving off promptly helps reduce emissions and optimizes fuel efficiency. The German traffic rules encourage responsible vehicle use to minimize environmental impact and improve safety. Allowing the engine to warm up while stationary can waste time and may generate unnecessary emissions, so it's better to start moving at low speeds to warm up the engine while driving.

This combination of actions aligns with best practices for vehicle operation and follows regulations aiming to enhance road safety and environmental protection.
