If you are parking facing uphill, what should you do with your steering wheel?

  1. Turn the steering wheel to the right

  2. Turn the steering wheel to the left

  3. Leave the steering wheel in a neutral position

  4. Lock the steering wheel in place

The correct answer is: Turn the steering wheel to the left

When parking uphill, turning the steering wheel to the left ensures that if the vehicle were to roll backwards, it would roll towards the kerb rather than into the road. This method provides an additional safety measure by preventing potential accidents or hazards caused by a vehicle rolling freely downhill. The left turn directs the wheels away from the road, increasing the likelihood that the car will hit the kerb instead, thus stopping it from rolling into traffic. In contrast, other options do not provide the same level of safety. Leaving the steering wheel in a neutral position or locking it in place does not offer any protection against rolling, as the tires would still turn freely down the slope. Turning the steering wheel to the right would cause the vehicle to roll into the road rather than towards the kerb, which is unsafe.
