What action should you take when parking facing uphill?

  1. Turn the wheels toward the curb

  2. Turn the wheels away from the curb

  3. Keep the wheels straight

  4. Turn the wheels parallel to the street

The correct answer is: Turn the wheels toward the curb

When parking facing uphill, it is important to turn your wheels toward the curb. This allows the wheels to catch the curb in case the car starts to roll back. The other options are incorrect because they do not provide the same level of safety. Turning the wheels away from the curb or keeping them straight can result in the car rolling freely downhill if the brakes fail. Turning the wheels parallel to the street also does not provide the same level of security as turning them toward the curb. In addition, turning the wheels parallel to the street can make it difficult for other vehicles to pass by on narrow roads. Therefore, the safest and correct option is to turn the wheels toward the curb when parking facing uphill.
