1You are parking facing uphill on a road that has no curb. Which way should your front wheels point?
✓ Toward the edge of the road
Without a curb, turning the front wheels toward the edge of the road means the car rolls off the road, not into traffic, if the brakes fail.
2A traffic light is blinking yellow. What should you do?
✓ Proceed through the intersection with caution
A flashing yellow light doesn't require a stop. You may go through the intersection, but slow down and watch carefully.
3You park facing downhill next to a curb. How should you turn your front wheels?
✓ turn your wheels toward the curb
Parked downhill, the front wheels should point toward the curb so the curb stops the car if it starts to roll.
4You are parking uphill next to a curb. Which way should your front wheels point?
✓ turn your wheels away from the curb
Parked uphill with a curb, turn the wheels away from it. If the car rolls back, the rear of the front tire rests against the curb.
