How should you turn your wheels when parking downhill next to a curb?

To the left away from the curb
Straight ahead
To the right towards the curb
It doesn't matter

The correct answer is: To the right towards the curb

When parking downhill next to a curb, the correct procedure is to turn your wheels to the right towards the curb. This action is crucial for ensuring the safety of your vehicle in the event that it begins to roll. By turning the wheels in this direction, if the vehicle does happen to move downhill, it will roll in towards the curb and come to a stop rather than into the street, where it could create a hazard for other drivers. This technique is a fundamental part of responsible parking and is designed to minimize the risks associated with parking on a slope. This approach is especially important in areas where parking regulations are enforced, as it demonstrates an understanding of safe driving practices.
