Leaving a parked car — Oklahoma Permit Test

Leaving a parked car on the Oklahoma permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

When you leave your car, set the parking brake, put the gear in low, reverse or park, turn off the motor, and lock the ignition and remove the key.

An improperly parked car can roll, gain speed and kill someone, with no one inside to stop it.

Put the gear in low, reverse or “park.”

Oklahoma Driver Manual, p.46

When you leave your car, lock the ignition and remove the key.

A key left in the car makes it easy to steal, and a child can start it or knock it out of gear.

Lock the ignition and remove the key.

Oklahoma Driver Manual, p.46

On the test

When you leave your car, what gear should it be in?

Low, reverse or park. An improperly parked car can roll, gain speed and kill someone, with no one inside to stop it. Oklahoma Driver Manual, p.46: “Put the gear in low, reverse or “park.””

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
