Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park on a steep country road that has a gravel shoulder and no curb. Which way should you turn the front wheels?
A is parked on the gravel shoulder to the right of a rural road with no curb. A side-profile diagram shows an uphill example; the question image gives no wheel setting.
Correct answer: Toward the edge of the road, whether you face uphill or downhill
Why
Also set the parking brake and shift to park, or leave a manual transmission in gear. Park as close as you can to the outer edge of the shoulder. Each hill rule has the same goal: if the car moves, it moves away from traffic.
