Question 1
You park facing downhill next to a curb. Which way should you turn your front wheels?
Correct answer: C
With the wheels turned toward the curb, the car would roll into the curb and stop if the brake failed. Set the parking brake as well.
-
Question 2
You park facing uphill next to a curb. Which way should you turn your front wheels?
Correct answer: D
Facing uphill, a rolling car moves backward. With the wheels turned away from the curb, the back of the front tire catches on the curb.
-
Question 3
You park on a hill on a road with no curb. Which way should you turn your front wheels?
Correct answer: B
With no curb, uphill or downhill, turn the wheels toward the edge so a rolling car would go off the road instead of into traffic.
-
Question 4
Besides turning your wheels, what else should you do every time you park on a hill?
Correct answer: A
The parking brake and the park position (or a gear in a manual car) together keep the car from rolling. Neutral lets the car move freely.
-
Question 5
Before you open the driver's door on the street side, what should you do?
Correct answer: C
An opened door can hit a passing cyclist or car. Check your mirror and turn to look; opening the door with your far hand makes you turn your body naturally.
-
Question 6
To parallel park, where do you usually start?
Correct answer: B
Pull up alongside the car ahead of the empty space, leave a little room between the cars, then back in while turning. Driving in nose first rarely fits a parallel space.
-
Question 7
Where is parking illegal everywhere in the U.S.?
Correct answer: D
Parking on a crosswalk blocks people walking and is forbidden in every state. The other places are normally legal unless a sign or marking says otherwise.
-
Question 8
What is double parking?
Correct answer: A
A double-parked car blocks a travel lane and is illegal. Taking up two spaces is inconsiderate, but it is not what double parking means.
-
Question 9
The striped area next to an accessible (disability) parking space is
Correct answer: C
The access aisle gives room for wheelchairs, ramps and lifts. Parking there, even briefly, can trap a person who needs it.
-
Question 10
Your car breaks down on a highway. What should you do first?
Correct answer: A
Getting off the traveled road and using hazard lights protects you from other traffic. If you must stay in the car, keep your seat belt on.
Questions you leave blank are not counted as wrong.
