You have parked facing downhill. Which way should you point your front wheels?
Correct answer
- Away from the curb
- Parallel to the curb
- In any direction
Explanation
When you parallel park facing downhill, you should point your wheels toward the curb or side of the road. If your brakes fail, your vehicle may roll forward but not into traffic. 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).
