How should a driver park on hill?

Answer 1

make sure that your car has the parking brake on.  If you are facing up hill turn the tire way from the curb.  If you are facing down hill turn them at the curb.  The reason that you do this is if you car starts to roll the curb will stop it in it's tracks

Park up hill turn your steering wheel onto left so the wheel against the curb and apply your emergency break.

Go that site too so you can see the picture what it look like. it's a test but it's fun i go there once in a while even i drive for 11 years now.

Answer 3

With a manual transmission, facing uphill, turn the wheels away from the curb, and allow the car to roll back, contacting the tires to the curb. Downhill, turn the wheels into the curb.

Answer 4

I learned this little trick in driving class. When you are on a hill it is "up, up, and away"

Step 1:

Pull into a parking space. Whenever possible, park perpendicular to the hill.

Step 2:

Park parallel to the curb if you must park parallel to the hill. Use your brakes gratuitously while accomplishing this.

Step 3:

Turn the steering wheel toward the curb if the car is facing downhill. The front part of the front tire should be turned into the curb.

Step 4:

Turn the wheel away from the curb if the car is facing uphill. The back of the front tire should be turned into the curb.

Step 5:

Put the car in park. For manual transmissions, leave the car in gear.

Step 6:

Set the parking brake.

Step 7:

Lift your foot off the brake. If the car slips, park again closer to the curb and reset the wheels against the curb.

Answer 8

parking brake on,of course, but an often overlooked rule of thumb is to turn the wheels toward the curb so the car cant roll even if something does happen

Answer 9

After you've parked, make sure your parking break is on.  If you are driving a stick shift, put your parking break on and always place your gear in 1st.
