Practice question

If you are parking facing downhill, where should you turn your front wheels?

  1. Away from the curb
  2. Straight ahead
  3. Towards the curb or the right shoulder
  4. Left, away from the road

Answer: C — Towards the curb or the right shoulder

When parking facing downhill, it is important to turn your front wheels towards the curb or the right shoulder. This is because if your car were to roll down the hill, it would roll into the curb or the shoulder, potentially preventing it from rolling into traffic. Turning the front wheels in any other direction could result in the car rolling onto the road. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the necessary precaution for parking on a downhill slope.
