You are parked facing uphill on a two-way street with no curb. Which way should you turn your front wheels?

Correct answer

  • To the left
  • To the right or to the left
  • Straight

Explanation

If you are parked facing uphill on the right side of a road without a curb, turn your front wheels to the right. If your vehicle's brakes fail, your vehicle will roll backward but off the road instead of into traffic. 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).
