## Question
When evacuating after a major earthquake and leaving your vehicle, you must take the engine key with you and securely lock the doors.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road, under "3. When a Major Earthquake Occurs" (1) D, specifies that the engine key should be left in the ignition or placed in an easily visible location inside the vehicle such as the driver's seat, and the doors should not be locked. This is to allow emergency vehicles to move the vehicle as needed.
