When parking downhill beside a curb, how should the front wheels be turned?
Car A faces downhill with a curb on its right. The small road-profile diagram shows the slope. The car is shown before its front wheels are set for parking.
Correct answer: Toward the curb.
Why
Turning the wheels toward the curb helps a vehicle that rolls downhill move into the curb rather than traffic.
