Parking and Roadside Rules questions

1. 1. When parking facing downhill with a kerb, which way should the front wheels point?

   1. A. Toward the kerb
   2. B. Away from the kerb
   3. C. Straight ahead

   Answer: A — Toward the kerb

   Wheels turned toward the kerb let it stop the vehicle if the brakes release.

2. 2. When parking facing uphill with a kerb, which way should the front wheels point?

   1. A. Toward the kerb
   2. B. Straight ahead
   3. C. Away from the kerb

   Answer: C — Away from the kerb

   Turning away means a rolling vehicle backs into the kerb rather than into the road.

3. 3. When parking on a hill with no kerb, which way should the front wheels point?

   1. A. Straight ahead
   2. B. Toward the edge of the road
   3. C. Toward the centre of the road

   Answer: B — Toward the edge of the road

   With nothing to stop it, the vehicle should be aimed off the roadway rather than into it.

4. 4. What should you do after parking on any hill?

   1. A. Set the parking brake and leave it in gear
   2. B. Rely on the transmission alone
   3. C. Leave the wheels straight and the brake off

   Answer: A — Set the parking brake and leave it in gear

   The parking brake plus a locked transmission is the redundancy that keeps a parked vehicle in place.

5. 5. What must you do when leaving a vehicle unattended?

   1. A. Leave the engine running for cooling
   2. B. Leave the key in the ignition
   3. C. Stop the engine and set the brake

   An unattended vehicle with the engine running is both a theft and a rollaway risk.

   1. A. Far enough out to open the door safely
   2. B. Close enough not to obstruct the travel lane
   3. C. At least three feet out from the kerb

   Answer: B — Close enough not to obstruct the travel lane

   A vehicle protruding into the lane forces traffic around it and into oncoming lanes.

    2. B. By paying a fee to the DMV to have them removed
    3. C. By completing a DMV-approved traffic safety course, removing three points
