Practice question

What must you do if you are parking on a hill?

  1. Set the parking break only
  2. Make sure the wheels are turned away from the curb
  3. Position the wheels so they point up the hill
  4. Lower the windows and place wheel chocks

Answer: A — Set the parking break only

When parking on a hill, it is important to always engage the parking brake to ensure that your vehicle does not roll. Option B is incorrect because the wheels should be turned towards the curb to prevent the vehicle from rolling downhill. Option C is also incorrect because the wheels should be turned towards the curb, not up the hill. Option D is unnecessary and may even be dangerous in some situations. Therefore, the best option is to only engage the parking brake when parking on a hill.
