If stopped on an incline, which of the following is the best way to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards?
  1. Keep the vehicle in gear and "ride" the clutch.
  2. Shift into neutral.
  3. Apply the parking brake.
  4. Keep the vehicle in gear, and depress the clutch and brake at the same time.
Explanation
Answer: C - If stopped on an incline, drivers should apply the parking brake to keep the vehicle from rolling backwards. Riding the clutch will damage the clutch over time. Shifting into neutral will cause the vehicle to roll backward. Keeping the vehicle in gear while depressing the clutch and applying the brakes will work, but if the driver's foot slips off the clutch or the brake the vehicle will move or lurch.
