You must use me... even when on a flat road. What should you use?

You must use me... even when on a flat road. What should you use?

• A. Park brake
• B. Turn signal
• C. Seat belt
• D. Headlights

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is keeping the vehicle from moving after you stop. The parking brake is designed to hold the car in place by locking the wheels, which is important even on flat pavement and when you’re exiting the vehicle. It provides a separate hold from the regular brakes and transmission, reducing the chance of the car rolling if something shifts or if the main brakes aren’t enough. Turn signals indicate your intention to move or change lanes, headlights help you see and be seen, and seat belts protect occupants while the vehicle is in motion. These serve other safety purposes and aren’t used to keep a parked car from rolling.
