Question: When parking on a steep hill you should:
Answer options:
- Leave the car in neutral ✅ Engage the parking brake and curb the wheels
- Disengage the parking brake
- Leave the engine running
Correct answer: Engage the parking brake and curb the wheels
Explanation: Securely parking on a steep hill requires engaging the parking brake and curbing the wheels because this mechanical backup prevents the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the primary brakes fail. Leaving the car in neutral or disengaging the parking brake removes essential holds on the vehicle, creating a severe runaway hazard, while leaving the engine running is illegal and unsafe. Under Québec's Highway Safety Code, drivers must safely secure stationary vehicles. SAAQ exams frequently test these hill-parking mechanics, specifically focusing on the direction to turn the wheels depending on whether the vehicle is facing uphill or downhill.
