Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
This question is about a tram parked at the turning loop. While parked at the turning loop, you are not allowed to leave the tram without securing it - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act requires the driver, while parked, to secure the vehicle against being started by an unauthorised person and to take other precautions necessary to avoid an accident. When leaving the cab, you switch off the drive system, secure the master controller and lock the cab, and the tram stays braked. Passengers and other people move around at the turning loop - an unauthorised person could start the tram, and an unbraked vehicle could roll away and cause an accident for which the tram driver would be responsible.
