- Up, up, and away, like Superman.
For hill parking, it's the only thing you have to remember.
The other three are all the same.
Today, we're going to give you the correct information
for hill parking to pass your test
and to be a safer, smarter driver.
Stick around. We'll be right back with that information.
(upbeat lively music)
Hill parking, the only exception to hill parking
is uphill with a curb.
The rest of them are all that steer tires
towards the shoulder of the road.
And the other piece about this is if you forget,
for the purpose of your driver's test,
and you turn the steering wheels the wrong way,
you're only going to lose about five points.
If you do everything else correctly,
put the vehicle in park, apply the parking brake,
everything's going to go well.
And it's not going to be a major issue.
Downhill without a curb.
Examiner tells you to park, mirror, signal,
shoulder check,
pulling over to the right side of the road,
Check again, bring the vehicle to a stop.
Signal on.
As you stop, turn the steering wheel
all the way to the right,
put the vehicle into a forward gear into park.
If you're driving an automatic, (parking brake creaking)
parking brake on, (signal lights clicking),
and you would normally turn the vehicle off,
just tell the examiner you're finished
and examiner will say, "Okay."
And you proceed.
So that's downhill without a curb,
towards the shoulder of the road.
That way, if the parking brake releases
or the transmission doesn't hold,
the vehicle will roll off the edge of the road
into the shoulder, not out into traffic.
The other note about uphill, downhill parking,
these little half curbs.
These are not considered a curb.
So this is considered parking without a curb.
It has to be able to hold the vehicle.
And I had a discussion with another driving instructor.
And finally, we went to the driving examiner
here in town and asked them,
and the examiner simply asked him the question,
whether it would hold the vehicle or not, and it won't.
Uphill without a curb.
Examiner, mirror, signal, shoulder check,
over to the side of the edge of the road.
(signal light clicking)
We've got a little block barrier there
and we turn the steering wheel all the way to the right,
into forward gear or into park, (parking brake creaking)
parking brake on, signal off, turn the vehicle off,
tell the examiner you're finished.
Steer your tires towards the shoulder,
because if the parking brake releases
or the transmission doesn't hold the vehicle,
the back end of the vehicle is going to go
into the shoulder of the road, not out into traffic.
To leave the parking space,
start the vehicle, parking break off,
into a forward gear into drive,
mirror, signal, shoulder check,
And remember, you got the steering wheel
turned all the way to the right.
So you're going to have to bring it back quickly,
mirror, signal, shoulder check, nobody coming.
And we proceed.
This video is made possible by the course package.
Pass your driver's test first time,
because we know that your driver's test
is the most stressful day of your life.
And without some form of driver training,
your chances of passing are less than 50%.
As a bonus, we'll include both
the Defensive and Winter Driving Smart courses.
These will make you a safer, smarter driver
and reduce your chances of being involved in an accident.

Uphill with a curb.
This will hold the vehicle, this curb here,
mirror, signal, shoulder check into the curb,
straighten the vehicle out,
turning your steering wheel all the way to the left.
If you're in a manual transmission,
just push the clutch in, and control the brake.
If you're in an automatic transmission,
push the selector into neutral
and then control the brake, while it rolls backwards.
We keep our signal on, (signal lights clicking)
make sure that it stays on.
Allow the vehicle to roll back right there.
You can feel the front tire touch the curb
into a forward gear, into park in an automatic transmission
(parking brake creaking)
parking brake on, cancel your signal,
turn the vehicle off, tell the examiner
that you're finished.
To leave the parking space,
your steer tires are already to the left.
So remember, you're going to have to get them straight.
Hold the foot brake,
put the transmission into drive,
forward gear in a manual transmission.
Off with the parking brake, mirror, signal,
shoulder check, no one coming, and steer the vehicle,
looking the direction you want to go, and proceed.
Downhill with a curb.
One little note about this,
mirror, signal, shoulder check, into the curb.
Okay. So right here, the car is on an angle into the curb.
So we need to get the backend into the curb.
So what we do is we drive in,
bring the steering wheel out to the left,
and then steer back to the right,
until the front tires touch the curb
right there.
Parking brake on, (parking brake creaks)
forward gear into park,
cancel your signal if it doesn't already.
If the parking brake releases or the transmission let's go,
then it's going to roll off the roadway.
And that's what you're trying to do
is to create a situation where if the brake does let go,
(laughs)
it's not rolling out into traffic
and causing all kinds of chaos.
Up, up, and away, like Superman
and remember, pick the best answer,
not necessarily the right answer.
Have a great day! Bye now.
