Question

1. when should you always engage your parking brake?

a. at a parking lot.
b. when your brake fluid runs low.
c. when parking on an incline.
d. when parking on slippery roads.

Explanation:

To determine when to always engage the parking brake, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A parking lot is flat and doesn’t require always using the parking brake.
• Option B: Low brake fluid relates to brake system maintenance, not parking brake usage timing.
• Option C: Parking on an incline (hill) requires the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling, as the regular brake may not hold alone.
• Option D: Slippery roads affect driving, but parking on them doesn’t inherently require the parking brake (the regular brake and gear/handbrake for inclines, but slippery flat parking doesn’t demand it as a rule).

Answer:

C. When parking on an incline.
