IDLING MYTH #6 “I can avoid a traffic warden giving me a ticket on a yellow line.” Wrong. It is an offence to idle and it can get you a ticket. The traffic warden will ask you to leave if you are in the car, regardless of whether your engine is on. #idling #EnginesOff
IDLING MYTH #5 “Leaving the car running is cheaper, as it uses less fuel than switching on and off again.” Wrong! Idling for more than 10 sec actually uses more fuel than switching on and off again. #idling #EnginesOff
IDLING MYTH #4 "I need the engine running to use car functions such as phone charging and listening to the radio without draining the battery” You can run these functions with the engine off. The car battery will not go flat by just running these #IdlingMyths #Idling #EnginesOff
IDLING MYTH #3 “I need to keep the engine running to keep warm when it’s cold.” The engine usually stays warm for at least 30min after switching off. This residual heat will keep the inside of the car warm. #IdlingMyths #Idling #EnginesOff
IDLING MYTH #2 “I’m not affected if I’m sitting inside a car.” Tests show that #AirPollution inside cars is HIGHER than outside, as cars take in emissions from surrounding vehicles and recirculate them. #IdlingMyths #Idling #EnginesOff
IDLING MYTH #1 “Idling doesn’t create a lot of #AirPollution" Wrong! An idling car can produce twice as much emissions as an engine in motion (150 balloons of harmful emissions every minute). Switching off your engine CAN reduce air pollution. #idling #EnginesOff

You know that leaving your engine running while sat in a queue for petrol is a little self-defeating & not great for the environment, right? #EnginesOff
