Which Way Do You Turn Your Wheels On A Hill
Olivia Luz
Face your wheels away from the curb if you are parking uphill.
How can you remember which way to turn your tires when parking on a hill. Roll forward nice and slow until the front of your front tire gently rests against the curb using it as a block. Parking downhill with a curb when parking downhill make sure to turn your wheels toward the curb or to the right if parking on a 2 way street. Instead you have to visualize the direction your car might roll if the brake gets loose.
Turn the wheels toward the curb. When you are parking downhill turn your front wheels into the curb or side of the road if you don t have a curb. Downhill with a curb when parked facing downhill and there is a curb present turn the wheels toward the curb. Press your foot on the brake put the car in neutral and turn your steering wheel one full turn in the proper direction.
Unfortunately there s no fancy rhyme to help you remember the right direction. Set the parking brake. Turn your wheels toward the right side of the road so that it would roll away from traffic. Printable graphic for parking on a hill.
