How could a professional driver improve their efficiency?

Why this is the answer

If you plan your journey to avoid busy times, you can avoid congestion. That way, your overall journey time may be reduced, so cutting costs and making you a more efficient driver.

Why the other answers don't fit

A
Keep to maximum speeds for shorter journeys — Driving at the maximum everywhere costs fuel and saves very little time.
C
Avoid route-planning because of the time it takes — Planning takes minutes and saves hours; skipping it is the false economy.
D
Drive at a faster speed through hazardous areas — Speed through a hazardous area is where efficiency turns into risk.

Where this question comes from

The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
