I think it *is* a good idea if all engines are cut off if left idling

those who park up, leave their headlights on and sit there talking /
eating for 20 mins with the engine running. ;-(

My local medium sized Tesco has a decent sized car park. And not busy
during the day week times. Why I use it - in better times. As such it
is popular with van drivers to have their lunch in - a meal deal from
the store, etc. And they near all have their engines running. Perhaps
understandable if cold for the heater. But this happens at all times
of the year.

Of course the majority don't pay for the fuel used. But I still don't
understand why you'd want a noisy diesel idling while you eat your
lunch.

so you can have the radio on ?


That‘s what the ”accessory• position on your ignition switch is for.

I know that - but do white van drivers?
