When parking and leaving a car what should you do?

  1. Leave the windows open

  2. Engage the steering lock

  3. Leave the keys in the ignition

  4. Turn on the hazard lights

The correct answer is: Engage the steering lock

When parking and leaving a car, it is important to engage the steering lock to prevent the vehicle from being easily stolen. Leaving the windows open (A) or the keys in the ignition (C) can increase the risk of theft. Turning on the hazard lights (D) is not necessary for parking and can drain the car's battery. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and safest action to take.
