Parking and hillsQuestion 407 of 412

You park uphill beside a rolling or mountable curb. Which way do you turn the wheels, and why?

  1. To the left, because this curb is too low to stop the car
  2. To the right, because this curb is very high
  3. To the right, because this curb is too low to stop the car
  4. To the left, because the curb will hold the car
Show answer

Correct answer: To the right, because this curb is too low to stop the car

A low curb does not hold the car. Turn the wheels right so the car rolls away from traffic.
