What must be done after observing the traffic in order to perform a stopping or parking manoeuvre?
Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
To perform a **stop or parking maneuver**, it is essential to follow the **R.S.M. safety rule** which includes three steps: **observe**, **signal**, and **maneuver**.
- **Observe the road**: Before any maneuver, you must carefully look at the traffic and the road, both directly and through the rearview mirrors. This ensures that you can perform the maneuver safely.
- **Signal the maneuver**: Once you have checked that it is safe to proceed, the next step is to **inform other drivers** of your intention to stop or park. You can do this using the vehicle's lights or with arm signals. It is important that these signals are clear and visible to other drivers. The lights should remain on throughout the maneuver and be turned off once it is completed. Arm signals should be made just before starting the maneuver, with sufficient notice.
- **Execute the maneuver**: Only after having observed and signaled correctly, can you proceed to execute the stop or parking maneuver.
Therefore, **signaling the maneuver** is a crucial step that must be performed after observing the traffic and before executing the maneuver.
