Hi

When parking uphill, stop as near as you can to the nearside kerb. Leave your steering wheel turned towards the right. If the vehicle rolls back the front wheels will be stopped by the kerb. If there is no kerb, leave your steering wheel turned to the left. If the vehicle rolls back it won't roll across the road. Leave the vehicle in first gear with the handbrake firmly applied.

When parking downhill, leave your steering wheel to the left - the kerb should stop any forward movement. Leave your vehicle in reverse gear with the handbrake firmly applied.

All the best

Hi

If you don't feel confident about parking, why don't you take an extra lesson from your instructor. I'm sure that could be sorted out quite easily with 1 extra lesson - its not too difficult.
