If you are parking facing uphill, which way should you turn the steering wheel?

  1. Straight

  2. To the right

  3. To the left

  4. No need to turn

The correct answer is: To the left

When parking uphill, you should always turn your steering wheel towards the curb or right. This is because, in the event of the car rolling backward, the curb will act as a barrier to prevent the car from rolling further downhill and causing an accident. Option A and D are incorrect as they do not provide any turning of the steering wheel. Option B is incorrect as turning the steering wheel to the right would result in the car rolling downhill towards the curb, which is unsafe. Therefore, the correct option is C, turning the steering wheel to the left so that the car will roll towards the curb and be stopped by it.
