When parking uphill beside a curb, which way should the front wheels point?
Car A faces uphill with the 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: Away from the curb.
Why
For uphill parking beside a curb, turn the front wheels away from the curb. If the car rolls backward, the rear of a front tire can meet the curb. Set the parking brake and secure the transmission as well.
