What must a driver do when the car is unattended?

• A. Leave info in writing in conspicuous place
• B. Turn off engine and leave keys in ignition
• C. Call the owner only
• D. Take all personal belongings

Answer: (A)

When you leave a car unattended, making your contact information visible to the owner or authorities is the responsible step. Leaving a note in writing in a conspicuous place ensures someone can reach you if there’s any issue—such as damage, a breakdown, or questions about what happened. It shows accountability and helps prevent misunderstandings or accusations of a hit-and-run.

The other options miss this crucial element. Turning off the engine but leaving the keys in the ignition is unsafe and invites theft. Simply calling the owner doesn’t ensure there’s a way to contact them if they’re not nearby, and it doesn’t provide clear information or documentation. Taking personal belongings doesn’t address the need to communicate who you are and how you can be reached.
