Correct answer
- Bdejar la primera marcha puesta en pendientes ascendentes.leave first gear engaged on uphill slopes.
When parking a vehicle on an uphill slope, the rule says that first gear must be left engaged. This is necessary to stop the vehicle from rolling backwards if the parking brake fails, which helps keep traffic safe. According to Article 92 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), when a vehicle is parked on an uphill slope, the driver must take precautions to stop it from moving by accident.
