The vehicle must be secured by the spring brakes or by wheel chocks before leaving the driver's seat or going under the vehicle.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only in specific conditions

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: True

When a driver is getting out of their vehicle, it is important to ensure that it does not move. This can be done by engaging the spring brakes or by using wheel chocks. Spring brakes are air brakes that will automatically engage when air pressure is lost. Using wheel chocks involves placing physical blocks against the wheels to prevent movement. These safety measures are crucial to prevent accidents while a driver is under the vehicle or working on it. Therefore, the statement is true and options B, C, and D are incorrect.
