Precautions Necessaires en Quittant le Vehicule Flashcards
General rules: There are three types of fixed assets of his vehicle:
1. the outstanding stop
2. the stop which does not last because one leaves immediately
3. parking to leave the vehicle.
Often a stop is made, which is actually considered a parking lot
Stopping: it is immobilizing the vehicle on the road, the time to take or deposit a passenger, or the time to load or unload objects. The driver must remain behind the wheel or in the immediate vicinity to move the vehicle without delay.
- Parking: it is stopping the vehicle for any other reason that falls outside the definition of the stop. For example, stopping to get bread at the bakery is a parking lot
- Out of town: The stop and parking are on the shoulder and preferably on the right when possible. To park on the left, do not cut a continuous line (axial or bank).
In town: The stop and the parking are made always on the right in the direction of the march. In one direction, parking can also be allowed on the left. This is the only case of bilateral parking permits.
How to park? As a safety measure, it is always preferable to be able to leave a parking lot in front to widen the field of vision. Which is not always feasible on a super market parking.
Thus, I go as far as possible backwards into a free battle location.
When leaving the vehicle, I must:
- make sure the steering lock (anti-theft)
- check the total immobilisation with the parking brake (parking brake)
- Exit with precauition not to surprise a two-wheeled vehicle for example
- getting the passengers off the sidewalk
- lock doors (or central locking)
The general prohibitions
Dangerous parking and parking: Stopping and parking are said to be dangerous if they obscure visibility. And that costs, in addition to a fine, 3 points to the driving license.
1. near an intersection
2. in a bend
3. near a hilltop
4. before a level crossing
5/6. at night or by poor visibility on a roadway, without signaling with the parking or parking lights
- Stop and parking very troublesome: It is when I encroach on a domain that is not mine.
- on a pedestrian crossing, or a distance of 5 meters upstream in the direction of traffic
- on horseback and on a sidewalk, unless specified locations are provided
- On a greenway a strip and a bicycle path, a pedestrian path or a cavalry trail
- In a bus corridor
- On a site reserved for the handicapped, GIG (great invalid of war) or GIC (great invalid civil)
- at the level of a fire hydrant
- close to road signs if I hide it
Stop and parking awnings:
- the emergency stop band is only used for breakdown or discomfort
- on a bus stop (outside town)
- on a bus stop (in built-up areas)
- on the location of a taxi station
No parking but stop tolerated:
- in front of a driveway of a building
- On a delivery or recharging place for electric vehicles
- In double file
Improper parking: I can not leave my vehicle parked at the same location for more than seven days. In some large cities, this period is shortened (2 days in Paris).
Parking: In any case, I can generate during the maneuver:
- I therefore anticipate in advance of my intention to stop, indicating with the flashing and reducing my speed
- before the location of my home, if I am followed, I stop to make it clear to others that they must leave me room to maneuver
- I go around taking care to check that I am allowed to maneuver.
slot:
- I move back until the rear wheels reach the end of the vehicle
- I control around me
- I move my vehicle back to about 45 degrees
- I go forward while controlling that I’m not going to hang
Battle:
- I control around me
- I retreat while positioning my vehicle to enter the rear in free space
- I can do several small maneuvers to adjust myself
Ear:
- in reverse: I operate as for a storage in battle
- forward: I normally enter a very low speed
then be careful when going back when I leave because the visibility will not be good
I can do several small maneuvers to adjust myself
Car parks: at the entrance to major urban areas, parking lots (park and ride facilities) are sometimes set up to reduce congestion and the streets, ensuring liason with public transport. The fare combines most of the time the price of parking and the price of bus or tram tickets.
The undergrounds:
Warning. Access to underground car parks and car parks can be regulated. Speed, width or height requirements are indicated at the entrance. Watch out for vans, vans, or galleries if they are loaded.
