If the driver leaves their seat to unload luggage, what safety measure are they obliged to take?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, the driver must never leave the driving position without first properly immobilizing the vehicle to prevent accidents. This mandatorily involves turning off the engine and disconnecting the starter system (removing the ignition key) to prevent unauthorized use or accidental movement of the vehicle. Applying only the handbrake is not sufficient if the engine is still running, as it poses a safety risk, in addition to generating unnecessary noise and pollution.
