Ch. 10 · Accidents & Disaster

When a vehicle breaks down, it must be parked in a location that does not obstruct other traffic, and the driver must promptly take measures to repair or refuel the vehicle.

[True / False · Easy]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

Section 1 only recommends ("let's park where it does not obstruct other traffic and promptly take measures to repair or refuel"); it is not an obligation ("must"). Therefore this statement is incorrect.
