  1. Drive forward until the left front tire touches the curb.
  2. Roll back slowly until the right front tire rests on the curb.
  3. Turn the wheels to the right and stop.
  4. Leave one metre between the tires and the curb.
Show answer

Correct answer: Roll back slowly until the right front tire rests on the curb.

The right front tire against the curb helps to stop the vehicle if it starts to move. The vehicle then cannot roll into traffic.
