When parking on a hill, which way should you turn your wheels?

When parking on a hill, it's essential to turn your wheels based on the direction of the slope to ensure that your vehicle does not roll into traffic if the brakes fail. If you are facing downhill, turning your wheels toward the curb helps to stop the vehicle from rolling out into the road; if the vehicle does begin to roll, the curb will catch it. Conversely, if you're parked uphill, turning your wheels away from the curb ensures that if the car rolls back, it will roll into the curb and not into the street.

This practice enhances safety and is a critical aspect of responsible vehicle operation, ensuring that your vehicle remains stationary and does not pose a hazard to other drivers or pedestrians.
