Question 7247

How must you position your vehicle when stopping or parking?

  1. By positioning the vehicle parallel to the road, always.
  2. It makes no difference, as long as you turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
  3. In a way that allows the best use of the available space.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: In a way that allows the best use of the available space.

When stopping or parking, position your vehicle to make the best possible use of the available space. Normally, you position it parallel to the edge, but not always, because the road or circumstances may make another position advisable. Turning off the engine and applying the brake do not mean you may position it any way you like.
