Explanation
It’s advisable to straighten your wheels after parallel parking between cars to avoid forgetting their position when you pull out, preventing acceleration in the wrong direction. The only time you should keep your wheels turned when parked is on a hill. In that case, steer toward the curb so that if the car begins to roll, it will be stopped by the curb.
