Ch. 10 · Accidents & Disaster

When parking on an ordinary road during the day, warning devices must be placed or the trunk must be opened to indicate that the vehicle is parked.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

This is incorrect. Section 2 states: "When parking on an ordinary road during the day, it is advisable to place warning devices or open the trunk to indicate that the vehicle is parked." This is a recommendation ("it is advisable"), not a requirement ("must").

This says 'must,' so it's definitely required during the day, right?

Nope, that's the trap! It's only advisable, not required. The rule says 'it is advisable,' which means it's a recommendation, not a must.

Oh wow, so the question swaps 'advisable' for 'must'? Sneaky!
Momoka
Momoka
Exactly! Watch out for that word swap — 'must' versus 'advisable' totally changes the meaning. This one's false!
