When you are parking on a hill, what should you do?

Make sure you are not facing the curb
Put the car in park and shut the car off
Turn your wheels away from the curb
Leave your wheels straight

The correct answer is: Turn your wheels away from the curb

When you are parking on a hill, it is important to turn your wheels away from the curb. This prevents your car from rolling downhill if the brakes fail. Option A, facing the curb, would increase the risk of colliding with the curb. Option B, putting the car in park and shutting it off, would not prevent the car from rolling downhill. Option D, leaving the wheels straight, would also not prevent the car from rolling downhill.
