Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park downhill beside the right curb. What front-wheel position helps contain the vehicle if it rolls?
Car A is parked on the right side beside a curb. The side-view inset identifies a downhill slope, without selecting a front-wheel direction.
Correct answer: Turn the wheels toward the curb.
Why
For downhill parking beside a right curb, turn the front wheels toward the curb. Set the parking brake and secure the transmission. Uphill beside a curb requires the opposite wheel direction; without a curb, turn toward the road edge. Choose the wheel position for the actual slope and roadside.
