When you parallel park facing uphill next to a curb, you should turn your wheels
Correct answer
- toward traffic.
- away from the curb.
- toward the curb.
Explanation
When you parallel park facing uphill next to a curb, you should point your wheels away from the curb and then roll back slowly so that the rear part of the front wheel rests against the curb. If your brakes fail, the curb will block your vehicle from rolling backward. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your transmission in the correct gear (Park for an automatic transmission or first gear for maximum forward torque with a manual transmission).
