Wherever possible pull off the road on to an area provided for parking. If you have to stop on the road, stop as close as you can to the side. Leave plenty of room when parking next to or behind a vehicle. Before open a door make sure it will not hit anyone passing on the road, watch out particularly for pedestrians, cyclists and motor-cyclists. You must switch off the engine and headlights. Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that the handbrake is on firmly and lock your vehicle.
