Explanation: The following answers are incorrect because the question asks what Paul does HOT need to do:
• Remove the ignition keys - Incorrect because removing the keys is something that should always be done when leaving a parked vehicle, to lessen the risk of an unauthorised person moving it.
• Lock all cab doors - Incorrect because the doors should always be locked as a precaution against theft or unauthorised movement of the vehicle.
• Check for interference with the vehicle before moving away - Incorrect because a driver is always responsible for his/her vehicle and should take every opportunity to check it and its load before moving away This is particularly important in certain areas where clandestine entrants may try to board the vehicle.
This answer is correct, because it is something that Paul does HOT need to do each time he stops to load or unload:
• Set the tachograph mode switch to 'rest: Correct, this is not something Paul needs to do as the tachograph should be set to "other work" if Paul is assisting in the loading/unloading process or dealing with any necessary paperwork.
