Description

Art. 46 para. 5 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2005 No. 108 item 908 as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the attached image, keys are visible left in the ignition while the driver is not in the cab. This is an error because a vehicle left in this manner is not protected against access by third parties. According to Art. 46 para. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, the driver is obliged to secure the vehicle against the possibility of it being started by an unauthorised person while stationary.
