Should you rely on the parking brake alone while passengers board or exit at a stop on a slight grade?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 49 (Passenger): No, keep the vehicle secured with the parking brake set and stay alert, since boarding on a grade adds risk if it were to slip
Why
Boarding and exiting put passengers right next to the vehicle, so a properly set parking brake and driver attention during that window matter more on a grade, where any slip has passengers in the path.
