Description
§ 18 para. 2 pt. 2 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 30 December 2002 on road traffic control, as amended.
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes, after stopping the vehicle for an inspection, the driver is obliged to keep their hands on the steering wheel and not leave the vehicle without permission. This is a standard procedure aimed at ensuring the officer's safety. Keeping hands on the steering wheel, visible to the inspecting officer, minimises potential threats.
