Top 10 eco driving tips to beat fuel rises

4. Don't stop if you can help it
Another one from my eco-driving instructor: roll towards queues, never rush to join them. Look far ahead down the road rather than just at the car in front of you, and anticipate changes at traffic lights. Ditto, don't stop at a roundabout if you have a clear line of sight and continuing without stopping is the safe option. Obviously, safety's paramount, so don't take risks -- just avoid unnecessarily coming to a halt. This one's classic driving-instructor advice, but useful nonetheless.
