You are parked parallel to the curb, facing downhill. Which way should you point your front wheels?
Correct answer
- Away from the curb
- Toward the curb
- In any direction
Explanation
When you parallel park facing downhill, you should point your wheels toward the curb. If your brakes fail, the curb will block your vehicle from rolling forward. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear (Park for an automatic transmission or Reverse with a manual transmission).
