When parking downhill beside a curb, which way should the front wheels point?
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
With the vehicle parked facing downhill, turn the front wheels toward the curb. Set the parking brake and secure the transmission. Wheel placement is an additional safeguard against a roll, not a substitute for securing the vehicle.
