Correct answer
Move off without waiting several minutes, gently and when safe.
Move off without waiting several minutes to warm up at idle, driving gently and avoiding excessive revs while cold. Start without pressing the accelerator and follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions. Warm-up occurs while driving; revving while stationary is unnecessary. First ensure it is safe to join traffic: the recommendation to move off does not remove that duty.
