3. Keep your wheels straight. This will help you maintain control of the vehicle and prevent it from swerving.
4. Be aware of your surroundings and other road users. Make sure you are not blocking traffic or creating a hazard for other vehicles.
5. If you are stopped on a hill, use the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward.
6. If you are stopped on a slippery surface, be extra cautious and apply the brakes slowly and smoothly.
7. If you are forced to stop suddenly, such as in an emergency, be sure to turn on your hazard lights to warn other drivers.
By following these tips, you can help ensure your safety and the safety of others when stopping your vehicle.
