What should you do before parallel parking correctly?

a. Signal that you are accelerating
b. Speed up to find a spot quickly
c. Check traffic behind you and signal that you are stopping
d. Turn on hazard lights

The correct answer is: c. Check traffic behind you and signal that you are stopping

The correct choice focuses on safety and proper signaling, which are critical components of parallel parking. Before attempting to parallel park, it is essential to check traffic behind you to ensure it is safe to proceed. This assessment helps you be aware of any vehicles or pedestrians that may be affected by your actions. Signaling that you are stopping indicates to other drivers your intention to maneuver into a parking spot, which is a courteous and safe practice that can prevent accidents and confusion on the roadway. The other options revolve around either ineffective or unsafe practices. Signaling that you are accelerating and speeding up can create a misunderstanding for surrounding drivers and may lead to a hazardous situation. Turning on hazard lights, while useful in certain contexts, is not typically necessary just for parallel parking and could confuse other drivers about your intentions.
