12:05 Conclusion
12:56 NOT a curb
13:47 Question - Do you hill park to secure the vehicle?
14:25 Runaway Vehicle - Bangor, Maine PD
For the purposes of the road, you must demonstrate that you can park and secure the vehicle against movement if there is a curb. If no curb is present, you must situate the steer tires so that the vehicle rolls off the roadway in the unlikely event that the brakes release.
There are 4 hill parks:
1) uphill with a curb
2) downhill with a curb
3) uphill without a curb
4) downhill without a curb
For three of the hill parks you turn the steer tires in toward the curb. ONLY on the uphill with a curb do you turn the steer tires out toward the centre of the roadway.
When a curb is present, you control the vehicle's speed and allow the front steer tire to rest against the curb, thus securing the vehicle against inadvertent movement.
If no curb is present, the steer tires are turned towards the shoulder of the road for both uphill and downhill parking.
It is the 3 & 1 rule - 3 of the 4 hill parks the steer tires are turned toward the shoulder of the road.
When uphill with a curb think of Superman: "Up, up & away!"
Good luck on your road test!

If you hear the instructor say the words either DOWNHILL at all or NO CURB -TURN YOUR WHEELS TO THE RIGHT. If you hear the instructor say UPHILL WITH CURB - TURN YOUR WHEELS TO THE LEFT.

3:30 Uphill with curb (turn steering wheel all the way to the left, allow vehicle to roll into curb) ~ 6:56 Downhill with curb (turn steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right) ~ 9:12 Uphill no curb (crank steering wheel all the way to the right) ~ 10:58 Downhill without a curb (turn steering wheel all the way to the right)
