When parking uphill, in which direction should your wheels be turned?

When parking uphill, your wheels should be turned away from the curb. This is important for several reasons. If your vehicle were to roll backwards—whether due to a mechanical failure or simply gravity—having the wheels turned away from the curb means that the vehicle would roll into the street rather than potentially rolling back into the curb and causing damage or becoming a hazard.

By turning the wheels away, if the car starts to roll, the front tires will hit the curb and help to stop the vehicle. This action adds an extra layer of safety and stability, preventing potential accidents. This practice is a crucial aspect of safe parking, especially in hilly or inclined areas, and is part of responsible driving behavior.
