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 your front wheels toward the curb is correct because if the brakes fail, the vehicle's tires will roll into the curb, stopping the car safely. Turning wheels away from the curb or keeping them straight would allow the vehicle to roll into active traffic, which is highly dangerous. The ICBC rule for uphill parking with a curb requires turning wheels away, which is a common point of confusion. Mastering these hill parking wheel positions is essential for both passing the ICBC knowledge exam and navigating the practical road test successfully.
