When parking headed downhill, what is the best practice for your vehicle's front wheels?

When parking downhill, the best practice is to turn your vehicle's front wheels toward the curb. This approach ensures that if your car rolls, it will roll into the curb rather than into the street. Turning the wheels toward the curb provides an additional safeguard against unintended vehicle movement, which is especially important on inclined surfaces.

This practice is rooted in safety principles and helps prevent accidents by stabilizing the vehicle's position. If the vehicle were to roll, the angle created by the turned wheels will help it come to a stop against the curb, reducing the risk of collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. Securely parking your vehicle is crucial for ensuring everyone’s safety on the road.
