Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park an ordinary car downhill beside the right 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: Right, toward the curb
Why
For downhill parking beside the right curb, turn the wheels toward that curb. Set the parking brake and secure the transmission as appropriate for the vehicle. Uphill with a curb calls for the opposite wheel direction, while a right-side no-curb position is arranged to roll away from traffic.
