Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park facing uphill on a country road that has no curb, only a gravel edge. Which way should you turn your front wheels?
Blue A faces uphill beside a gravel road edge without a curb; no wheel setting is selected.
Correct answer: Right, toward the edge, so that a rolling car leaves the road.
Why
Without a curb, turn the wheels toward the edge of the road whether you face uphill or downhill, so that a rolling car leaves the road. Always set the parking brake, and leave an automatic in park or a manual in gear. With a curb, only the uphill case changes: turn the wheels away from the curb.
