When you park next to a curb facing uphill, which way should you point your front wheels?

  1. Toward the curb

  2. Away from the curb

  3. Straight

  4. It does not matter

The correct answer is: Away from the curb

When parking next to a curb facing uphill, it is important to point your front wheels away from the curb. This is done to prevent your vehicle from rolling into the street in case the brakes fail. By turning your wheels away from the curb, if your vehicle starts to roll, it will roll into the curb which can help stop the car. This is a safety precaution that all drivers should follow to prevent accidents or damage to the vehicle or property.
