Question: When parking on a hill without a curb, turn your wheels:

Answer options:

  • Toward the road ✅ Toward the shoulder
  • Straight ahead
  • It doesn't matter

Correct answer: Toward the shoulder

Explanation: Under SAAQ rules, when parking on a hill without a curb, you must turn your front wheels toward the shoulder. This safety standard ensures that if your brakes fail, the vehicle's own weight will roll it off the roadway and away from oncoming traffic, rather than into the path of other vehicles. Turning your wheels toward the road or keeping them straight ahead is dangerous because a runaway vehicle would roll directly into active lanes of traffic. On the Quebec Class 5 knowledge test, mastery of steering wheel direction when parking on various hills (with and without curbs) is a highly examinable safety concept.
