Driver Licensing Vehicle Control and Parking

Question 1

When parking uphill with a curb, which direction should you turn your front wheels?

Accepted Answer

Away from the curb (left)

Answer

When parking uphill with a curb, turn your wheels away from the curb (left) so that if the car rolls, the curb stops it from entering traffic.

Question 2

When parking downhill with a curb, which way should you turn your front wheels?

Accepted Answer

Toward the curb (right)

Answer

When parking downhill with a curb, turn your wheels toward the curb (right) so the tire rests against the curb and prevents the car from rolling into traffic.

Question 3

What does ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) do when activated during hard braking?

Accepted Answer

Prevents the wheels from locking so you can steer while braking

Answer

ABS rapidly pulses the brakes to prevent wheel lock-up during hard stops, allowing the driver to maintain steering control while slowing down.

Question 4

What is the primary danger of driving with under-inflated tires?

Accepted Answer

Increased risk of blowout, overheating, and poor handling

Answer

Under-inflated tires flex excessively, generating heat that can cause blowouts, and also result in poor fuel economy, sloppy handling, and uneven wear.

Question 5

Where should you position your hands on the steering wheel for optimal control?

Accepted Answer

10 and 2 o'clock (traditional) or 9 and 3 o'clock (modern recommended)

Answer

Modern driver training recommends the 9 and 3 o'clock position for better airbag safety and control, though 10 and 2 is still widely taught.
