Question 1: How far from an intersection or corner must a vehicle be parked to avoid obstructing traffic?
- 3 meters
- 5 meters (Correct answer)
- 6 meters
- 10 meters
Correct answer: 5 meters
Under Philippine traffic rules, vehicles must be parked at least 5 meters away from an intersection or corner to maintain clear visibility and traffic flow for all road users.
Question 2: When parking on an uphill slope WITHOUT a curb, which direction should the front wheels be turned?

Correct answer: Toward the road (left)
On an uphill slope without a curb, you turn the wheels toward the road (left). If the brakes fail, the vehicle will roll back and the tires will catch on the road edge, helping to stop it.
