You have parked next to a curb, facing downhill. Which way should you point your front wheels?

Correct answer

  • Away from the curb
  • In any direction
  • Straight

Explanation

When you park facing downhill, point your front wheels toward the curb. That way, if your car starts to roll, the curb will block it 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 for a manual transmission).
