Question: When parking facing downhill with a curb, turn your wheels:
Answer options: ✅ Toward the curb
- Away from the curb
- Straight
- Either way
Correct answer: Toward the curb
Explanation: When parking downhill with a curb, turning the front wheels toward the curb ensures that if the vehicle rolls, the tires immediately bind against the curb to stop it. Turning them away is incorrect, as this technique is reserved only for uphill parking with a curb. Leaving the wheels straight or turning them either way creates a safety hazard, potentially allowing a runaway vehicle to roll directly into traffic. The Alberta Driver's Guide mandates these specific steering wheel positions based on gravity and curb safety. Remembering this distinction is critical for the Class 7 exam, where hill parking wheel positions are frequently tested.
