When parking your vehicle downhill on a two-way street:
- Turn your wheels to the right. ✓
- Turn your wheels to the left.
- Keep your wheels pointed straight ahead.
- Leave your transmission in neutral.
Answer: A. Turn your wheels to the right.
Park downhill on a two-way street with your wheels turned to the right.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's parking section says to angle your wheels so that, if the car moves, it rolls away from traffic or against the curb. On a two-way road you normally park on the right side. Turning the front wheels to the right points them toward the curb, which matches that rule. The same section also tells you to set Park with an automatic transmission or Reverse with a manual when parked downhill.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Turn your wheels to the left. — Turning the wheels left aims them toward the travel lane, which does not match the handbook's instruction to direct a roll away from traffic or into the curb.
- C. Keep your wheels pointed straight ahead. — Keeping the wheels straight does not meet the handbook's rule to turn them so the car would roll away from traffic or into the curb.
- D. Leave your transmission in neutral. — The handbook calls for Park with an automatic transmission or Reverse with a manual, not neutral.
Remember it
On the right side of a two-way road, wheels right means a roll meets the curb, not traffic.
