When parking uphill with a curb, what should you do with the wheels?

  1. a. Turn the wheels to the right

  2. b. Turn the wheels to the left

  3. c. Keep the wheels straight

  4. d. Turn the wheels outward

The correct answer is: b. Turn the wheels to the left

When parking uphill with a curb, you should turn the wheels to the left. This means that if your vehicle were to roll backward, the front wheels would hit the curb, which acts as a barrier and prevents the car from rolling into traffic. This is important for safety, as it minimizes the risk of an accident by ensuring your vehicle is more secure on an incline. Turning the wheels in this manner is standard practice in many places and is crucial to managing the risks associated with parking on hills. Keeping the wheels straight or turning them in the opposite direction would not provide that same level of safety, as the vehicle could potentially roll into the roadway.
