Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Check if it is permitted; make a peripheral check and slow down carefully.
Before stopping or parking, first make sure that stopping there is permitted by signs and road markings. Then make a peripheral check with the mirrors and around the vehicle to be sure no other road user is endangered, and only then slow down carefully. The order matters, and signalling only after stopping is too late, because a signal is meant to warn others in advance.
