Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
Before leaving an ordinary car unattended on a perceptible hill, what should you do?
Correct answer: Stop the engine, remove the key, set the parking brake, and turn the wheels.
Why
For an ordinary unattended car, stop the engine, lock the ignition, remove the key, and effectively set the parking brake. On a grade, turn the front wheels to the curb or roadside in the appropriate direction. The law has specific exceptions for official emergency duties and locked remote-started vehicles; they do not change this ordinary parking scenario.
