When parking on a hill, when do your wheels turn left?

When parked downhill, with a curb
When parked uphill, with a curb
Always, no matter the direction
When parking on a flat surface

The correct answer is: When parked uphill, with a curb

When parking uphill with a curb, it is essential to turn your wheels to the left. This practice acts as a safety measure to prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic in the event that it slips out of gear or the parking brake fails. By turning the wheels away from the curb, should the vehicle begin to roll, it will roll into the curb rather than into the road, minimizing the risk of an accident and protecting other road users. In contrast, turning wheels downhill against a curb directs your vehicle toward the curb, which is appropriate in that scenario. Failure to turn your wheels properly when parking on a hill can lead to dangerous situations, emphasizing the importance of understanding and applying these parking techniques correctly.
