1

What is the minimum distance you must maintain when parking near a fire hydrant in Iowa?

Illustration for question 1
  • A.5 feet✓
  • B.10 feet
  • C.15 feet
  • D.20 feet

Why: In Iowa, you are legally prohibited from parking your vehicle closer than 5 feet to a fire hydrant. This regulation is in place to ensure that emergency services have immediate and unobstructed access to water sources during a fire.

2

When parking uphill next to a curb, in which direction should you turn your front wheels?

Illustration for question 2
  • A.Toward the curb
  • B.Straight
  • C.Away from the curb✓
  • D.In any direction

Why: When parking facing uphill with a curb, turn your front wheels away from the curb (to the left). This ensures that if your brakes fail, the back of the front tire will catch against the curb and stop the vehicle from rolling backward.
