On a cold morning you stop at a store for two minutes. You want the car to stay warm while you are inside. What does Vermont law require before you leave the car?
Blue car A is stationary in a marked parking space outside a store on a cold morning. The windows and doors are closed; no engine, key or brake state is shown.
Correct answer: Stop the engine, remove the key from the ignition, and set the brake before you walk away
Why
A running car with no driver in it can be stolen, or a child can move it. The manual says that idling while the car is unattended in public is against Vermont's unattended motor vehicle law. The law asks you to set the brake when the air temperature permits it, but the engine and key steps apply at all times.
