Stationary vehicles
AI Assist
Summary
Do not leave a motor vehicle standing in a public place unless a person duly licensed to drive is seated at the driver’s seat. If no one is at the wheel, stop the engine and apply the brakes or take other effective steps so the vehicle cannot accidentally move. Leaving it unsecured means the vehicle is treated as unlawfully unattended and you can be held responsible for any accidental movement or harm.
Example
Priya parks her car outside a shop and leaves with no one in the driver’s seat. She must either keep a licensed person in the seat or stop the engine and apply the brakes so the car cannot move accidentally; otherwise she would be responsible if it rolls or causes damage.
