Explanation
When parking on a public road, drivers should move as far away from traffic as possible and park on the right side of the roadway, unless it is a one-way street. The vehicle should be parked in the direction of the flow of traffic. Drivers should then set the parking brake and shift to Park if they have an automatic transmission or to Reverse if they have a manual transmission. Finally, they should turn off the engine, lock the vehicle, and remove the keys. Florida law requires that drivers take the keys out of the vehicle before leaving it.
