You have parked facing downhill on the side of the road. There is no curb. Which way should you point your front wheels?

Explanation

If you park on a hill without a curb, point your front wheels toward the edge of the road. If your brakes fail, your car will roll toward the edge of the road, not into traffic. Make sure you still set your parking brake and leave your car in the correct gear. For an automatic transmission, shift into Park. For a manual transmission, shift into Reverse when facing downhill or first gear for maximum forward torque when facing uphill.
