parking on a hill

When parking on a hill you should remember the following points:

  • Stop the vehicle as close to the kerb as possible
  • Apply the handbrake firmly
  • When facing uphill: select a forward gear and turn the wheels away from the kerb.
  • When facing downhill: select reverse gear and turn the wheels towards the kerb.
  • Leave adequate gaps, being on the slope may require more room to manoeuvre in or out.
  • Be considerate of others.
  • Automatic vehicles should select park (P)
Rule 252: Turn your wheels away from the kerb when parking facing uphill. Turn them towards the kerb when parking facing downhill
