Questions Learners Have About Parking on Slopes

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Parking on Slopes, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Why is parking on slopes a special concern in Dutch driving theory?

Parking on slopes requires specific techniques to prevent your vehicle from rolling away, which can cause serious accidents. The Dutch driving theory exam includes questions on these safety procedures to ensure drivers understand the risks and correct methods.

What is the primary rule for wheel direction when parking on a slope?

The primary rule is to turn your wheels in such a way that if your vehicle were to roll, it would roll towards the curb or off the road, not into traffic. For uphill with a curb, turn wheels away from the curb. For downhill or uphill without a curb, turn them towards the curb or roadside.

Is using only the handbrake sufficient when parking on a steep hill?

No, relying solely on the handbrake, especially on a steep gradient, is not sufficient. You should always combine the handbrake with proper gear selection (first gear uphill, reverse gear downhill for manual, or 'P' for automatic) and correctly angled wheels to maximise safety and prevent rollaway.

How do manual and automatic transmission vehicles differ for slope parking?

For manual transmission, engage first gear when parking uphill and reverse gear when parking downhill, in addition to the handbrake. For automatic transmission, shift into 'P' (Park) mode, which locks the transmission, along with engaging the handbrake.

What are the consequences of incorrect slope parking in the Netherlands?

Incorrect slope parking can lead to your vehicle rolling away, potentially causing significant property damage, serious injuries, or even fatalities. It's considered a serious traffic offence due to the severe safety implications, and would result in failing a practical driving exam.
