When parking uphill, you must:
Turn your wheels away from the curb
When parking uphill, you must:
- Turn your wheels correctly
With a curb: Turn wheels away from the curb (left)
Without a curb: Turn the wheels toward the edge of the road (right)
- Set the parking brake
Always engage the parking brake to prevent rolling.
- Put the car in the correct gear
If driving a manual (stick shift): put it in first gear
If driving an automatic: shift to “Park”
These steps help make sure your car won’t roll downhill if the brakes fail. Want a quick checklist version?
What is a curb?
A curb is the raised edge of a sidewalk or road. It’s usually made of concrete or stone, and it separates the road from the sidewalk or grass.
So when we say:
“With a curb” – there’s a raised edge your wheels can touch.
“Without a curb” – there’s no raised edge, just dirt, grass, or the side of the road.
When an oncoming vehicle deliberately crosses the centerline to pass another vehicle, you should be:

4 seconds

Flashing yellow light means:
> Proceed with caution.
In simple terms:
You don’t have to stop, but you should slow down and look carefully before going through the intersection.
Watch out for other cars, pedestrians, or hazards.
It’s like a warning: “Be careful, but you can keep moving.”

The effects of alcohol in driving are the following except:
Coordination of body movements and self judgement
The question “The effects of alcohol in driving are the following except:” is asking you to choose the one that is not an effect of alcohol on driving.
Common effects of alcohol on driving include:
Slower reaction time
Poor judgment
Blurred vision
Reduced coordination
Drowsiness
Difficulty concentrating
So, if the choices are something like:
A. Slower reaction time
B. Better decision-making
C. Blurred vision
D. Poor coordination
The correct answer is:
B. Better decision-making — because alcohol actually worsens your decision-making, not improves it.

Towards the edge of the road
When parking uphill without a curb, you should:

Why?
So if your car rolls, it will go off the road instead of into traffic.
Quick guide:
Uphill with a curb: Turn wheels away from curb (left)
Uphill without a curb: Turn wheels toward the shoulder (right)
Downhill (curb or not): Turn wheels toward the curb or shoulder (right)

When you make an abrupt move especially when you are on a wet and possibly slippery road, the following action can cause you to skid and lose control:
Improper braking

Edge of the street
When making a right turn you should:
Stay on the outermost lane of the road then signal your intention to turn right
When parking downhill, you must:

When a vehicle starts to skid, what should you do:

A driver on a highway shall yield the right of way to:
Police / fire department vehicles and ambulances when such vehicles are on official business
“Yield the right of way” means that a driver must give priority to another vehicle or pedestrian in certain situations. In other words, the driver must allow other road users to go first before continuing on their path.
When yielding the right of way:
Stop or slow down if necessary.
Wait for it to be safe to proceed.
Do not block the path of another vehicle or pedestrian.
The rule helps prevent accidents by ensuring that traffic flows smoothly and safely, particularly in situations where two or more road users might want to use the same space at the same time.
Single with a broken line on a two-lane road means:
It separates traffic moving in opposite directions
A single broken line on a two-lane road typically means:
Passing is allowed: Drivers may cross the line to pass another vehicle, but only when it is safe to do so.
Caution is needed: Even though passing is permitted, drivers should be cautious and aware of oncoming traffic, road conditions, and any other potential hazards.
The broken line indicates that drivers have the option to change lanes or pass another vehicle, but they must do so responsibly and safely. Always check for other vehicles or obstacles before crossing the line.
