Question 5851
When parking this vehicle on an uphill grade, its driver must...
- rest a front wheel against the curb and turn it toward the outside of the roadway.
- leave the parking brake engaged.
- leave reverse gear selected.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: leave the parking brake engaged.
Whenever you park and leave the driver's seat, you must apply the parking brake, including when facing uphill. On that slope, you must also leave first gear engaged; reverse gear is for facing downhill. Turning a wheel outward against the curb is for facing downhill and is one way to secure vehicles over 3,500 kg, buses, and vehicle combinations against movement.
