You want to continue your journey after taking a break at a service station. What should you check before recommencing your journey?

The correct combination of checks before continuing your journey after a break at a service station is essential for ensuring safety on the road.

1. Ensuring there are no loose objects in the footwell is crucial because these can become projectiles during sudden stops or collisions, posing a danger to the driver and passengers.

2. Checking that all doors are closed correctly is important as improperly closed doors can open unexpectedly while driving, creating a risk for everyone in the vehicle and for other road users.

3. Making sure all passengers are seated is vital for safety; unrestrained passengers can be injured in the event of an accident and can also become distractions for the driver.

In Germany, these points are related to the general traffic safety regulations that require drivers to ensure they operate their vehicle safely and without hazards, ensuring the wellbeing of all occupants in the vehicle and other road users. It is a legal obligation to adhere to these checks before resuming your journey.
