Question: When parking uphill with a curb, turn your wheels:

Answer options:

  • Toward the curb ✅ Away from the curb (so the rear of the tire rests against it)
  • Straight ahead
  • Doesn't matter

Correct answer: Away from the curb (so the rear of the tire rests against it)

Explanation: When parking uphill with a curb, the official ICBC rule states you must turn your wheels away from the curb. This ensures that if your vehicle rolls backward, the rear of the front tire will catch against the curb and stop the vehicle from rolling into traffic. Turning wheels toward the curb is incorrect because it is only used for downhill parking or uphill parking without a curb, while keeping them straight ahead offers no protection at all. Mastering these wheel positions is highly relevant for the ICBC Class 7 knowledge test and is a graded safety requirement on the practical road test.
