If you intend to leave the vehicle and move away from it, what actions are you required to perform to ensure safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, a driver must never leave the driving position without taking appropriate measures to prevent accidents or theft. The correct answer encompasses three fundamental actions: Apply the parking brake (handbrake) to ensure the vehicle does not move on its own (especially on slopes). Turn off the engine and cut the ignition system to prevent noise, pollution, and mechanical risks. Prevent unauthorized use, which implies removing the keys and locking the doors. The options of leaving windows open or only turning off lights are incorrect because they compromise the vehicle's security (facilitating theft) or do not guarantee its immobilization.
