If parked downhill, in which direction should you turn the wheels?

a. Turn wheels away from the curb
b. Turn wheels towards the curb
c. Keep wheels straight
d. Turn wheels to the right

The correct answer is: b. Turn wheels towards the curb

When you are parked downhill, it is essential to turn your wheels towards the curb. This is a safety measure designed to prevent your vehicle from rolling into the street if the parking brake were to fail. By positioning the wheels in this manner, your vehicle will roll into the curb instead of continuing down the road, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. It's important to note that the other responses indicate different actions that would not provide the same level of safety in a downhill parking situation. Turning the wheels away from the curb or keeping them straight could allow the vehicle to roll into traffic, posing danger to both the vehicle and nearby pedestrians. Thus, always remember to turn your wheels towards the curb when parked downhill.
