Which way should you turn your wheels when parking uphill along a curb?

  1. Turn wheels away from the curb.

  2. Turn wheels to the right.

  3. Turn wheels to the left.

  4. Turn wheels towards the curb.

The correct answer is: Turn wheels away from the curb.

When parking uphill along a curb, you should turn your wheels away from the curb. This is the correct approach because if the car were to roll, the front tires would make contact with the curb, preventing the vehicle from rolling into traffic. By directing the wheels outward, the curb acts as a barrier that helps secure the vehicle in place. The other options do not provide the necessary safety measure. Turning the wheels towards the curb, for instance, could allow the vehicle to roll into the street if it were to slip out of gear or if the parking brake failed. Correctly positioning the wheels enhances safety and adherence to parking regulations, making it essential to follow this guideline whenever you park on an incline.
