1

When parked parallel to a curb, facing downhill, in which direction should you point your front wheels?

  • A.Away from the curb
  • B.Parallel to the curb
  • C.In any direction
  • D.Toward the curb✓

Why: When parked downhill, turning your front wheels toward the curb ensures that if your brakes fail, the curb will act as a physical barrier, preventing your vehicle from rolling further down the street. This is a crucial safety measure to prevent runaway vehicles.

What kind of parking is commonly found in parking lots and shopping centers and sometimes on wide streets?

  • A.Emergency parking
  • B.Angle parking✓
  • C.Parallel parking
  • D.Hill parking

Why: Angle parking is the correct answer because it's designed for efficiency in high-traffic areas like shopping centers and parking lots. Vehicles park at an angle to the curb or aisle, making it easier to enter and exit compared to parallel parking.
