Question 4931

If you park your vehicle on an uphill slope, you must...

  1. put the gear lever in the reverse position.
  2. leave it in first gear if the vehicle has a gearbox.
  3. rest the rear wheel against the curb.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: leave it in first gear if the vehicle has a gearbox.

When facing uphill, if the vehicle has a transmission, you must leave it in first gear; reverse is for facing downhill. Resting a wheel against the curb serves to chock vehicles over 3,500 kg, buses, and vehicle combinations, and it must be a front wheel.
