When parking on a hill, what should you remember to do to prevent your vehicle from rolling?

When parking on a hill, it is essential to set the parking brake and leave the vehicle in park to prevent it from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or emergency brake, engages the brake system of the vehicle and keeps it securely in place, especially on an incline.

In addition, placing the vehicle in the 'park' position engages a locking mechanism in the transmission that further helps to prevent the vehicle from moving. Together, these measures provide a comprehensive approach to securing the vehicle, thus minimizing the risk of unintentional rolling, which can lead to accidents or damage.

Turning the wheels toward the curb is another important safety measure to consider, as it helps direct the vehicle into the curb if it were to roll. However, this alone does not provide the same level of security as utilizing both the parking brake and the park gear. Leaving the vehicle in neutral or in drive would not secure it effectively and could result in the vehicle rolling away.
