When parking downhill on a steep road, what does the Road Code suggest that you should do? Select all that apply.
Please select 3 correct answers
The road code says you should turn your wheels towards the kerb and leave it in reverse or park. If the park brake fails then the car will run forwards only slightly before hitting the kerb, where it will hopefully stop. You should have your handbrake on while parked as well, although the Road Code doesn't specifically say this.
When can you park on the right hand side of the road?
The side of the road you are on is based on which direction you are facing in relation to which lane you are in. You must never park on the right so that you are facing traffic.
