Practice question

Where should you turn the wheels when parking on a hill?

  1. Parallel to the curb
  2. Upward towards the hill
  3. Downward away from the hill
  4. Away from traffic

Answer: D — Away from traffic

When parking on a hill, it is essential to turn your wheels away from traffic. This is important because if your vehicle were to unexpectedly roll downhill, the wheels would act as a barrier against the potential movement and prevent your car from rolling into moving traffic. This safety measure helps to reduce the risk of accidents or damage to your vehicle or others on the road. Therefore, turning your wheels away from traffic is the correct way to position them when parking on a hill.
