Explanation

Under Article 92.3.a of the General Traffic Regulations, a driver who leaves their seat must stop the engine and, if they move away, take the necessary precautions to prevent the vehicle from being used without authorisation. Chocks are only required for heavy vehicles on slopes, and the P position only exists on some gearboxes.
