Parking. When parking downhill next to a curb, what should you do?
Turn your wheels to the right
Turn your wheels to the left
Keep your wheels straight
Turn your wheels opposite to the road's slope
The correct answer is: Turn your wheels opposite to the road's slope
When parking downhill next to a curb, you should always turn your wheels in the direction opposite of the road's slope. This is because if your car were to roll downhill, the wheels would turn into the curb and help prevent the car from rolling into traffic. Turning your wheels to the right (choice A) or left (choice B) could result in the car rolling into the road. Keeping your wheels straight (choice C) may not provide enough resistance to prevent the car from rolling.
