Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park uphill beside the right curb. Which way should you turn the front wheels?
Blue car A is beside the right curb. A separate side-view inset indicates an uphill grade; no front-wheel setting is selected in the question.
Correct answer: Turn them away from the curb
Why
If the vehicle rolls backward, an outward wheel angle lets the front tire contact the curb and helps stop the vehicle.
