Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park your car, which has an automatic transmission, facing downhill next to a curb. Which set of steps secures it best?
A faces downhill beside a right-hand curb. A side-profile diagram shows the slope, and the card identifies an automatic transmission; no front-wheel setting is selected.
Correct answer: Set the parking brake, shift to park, and turn the front wheels toward the curb
Why
The wheel position is a backup in case the brakes fail. If your car has a manual transmission, leave it in gear. Oregon law also requires you to stop the engine and remove the key when you leave the car unattended.
