Where's the safest place to park your vehicle at night?
- A In a garage
- B On a busy road
- C In a quiet car park
- D Near a red route
Why this is the answer
If you have a garage, use it. Your vehicle is less likely to be a victim of car crime if it's in a garage. Also, in winter, the windows will be kept free from ice and snow.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- On a busy road — A busy road is neither safe for the car nor good for the traffic.
- C
- In a quiet car park — Quiet means unwatched, which is exactly what a thief wants.
- D
- Near a red route — A red route is a place where you must not stop at all.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
