Question

when parking uphill with a curb, turn the front wheels towards the:

driver

sun

street

curb

Explanation:

Analyze uphill parking physics

Using the Incline Driving knowledge point

When parking on an uphill slope next to a curb, gravity pulls the vehicle backward. To prevent the car from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail, the front wheels must be turned away from the curb (toward the street). This ensures that if the vehicle rolls back, the back of the front tire will catch against the curb, stopping the vehicle.

Evaluate the given options

• driver: Incorrect. Turning wheels toward the driver is not a standard reference for parking safety.
• sun: Incorrect. This is irrelevant to vehicle dynamics.
• street: Correct. Turning wheels toward the street (away from the curb) allows the tires to block the vehicle against the curb.
• curb: Incorrect. Turning wheels toward the curb is the rule for downhill parking or uphill parking without a curb.

Answer:

• driver
• sun
• street (Correct answer)
• curb
