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 wheels toward the curb is correct because gravity pulls the vehicle forward, and this angle ensures the front tires roll directly into the curb to stop the vehicle if the brakes fail. Turning wheels away from the curb is incorrect because it is the procedure used when parking uphill with a curb. Leaving wheels straight or turning them either way is unsafe because a rolling vehicle would drift directly into active traffic. The Official MTO Driver's Handbook mandates steering toward the curb or road edge for downhill parking. This safety rule is frequently featured on the G1 exam to ensure drivers know how to secure a vehicle on hills.
