GENERAL Learning Environment Category B (B, B1)
Question 326 of 1208

What obligations has the driver of a vehicle parked on the public road, if he distances himself from it?

A to operate the parking brake, to stop the functioning of the engine and to engage a lower gear;
B to signal its presence at night with a light source;
C to not stop too close to the next vehicle.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The driver who distances himself from the motor vehicle parked on the public road is obliged to operate the parking brake (the hand brake), to stop the functioning of the engine and to engage a lower gear (generally in first gear) or in the parking gear, if the motor vehicle has automatic transmission.


For answer  B 

The signalling of the presence will be done with the position lights or parking lights, not with any light source, and only when it is immobilized on the carriageway outside the urban area, not in the urban area, from dusk until dawn. Considering that the type of light source (position or parking) and whether it is in the urban area or outside the urban area is not specified, answer B is not correct.


For answer  C 

This obligation is not provided in the road traffic legislation. Therefore, answer C is not correct.


The correct answer is: A


Recommendations:
The correct use of the lighting and signalling system - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Traffic Code - The technical condition of the vehicles and the lighting and light signalling system
The manoeuvres of stopping, waiting and parking - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Traffic Code - Stopping, waiting and parking
