You want to park uphill on a two-way roadway and there is no curb. Which way do you turn your front wheels?

Left, toward the center of the road.
So they face straight ahead.
Right, toward the side of the road.
None of the above.
Explanation

Parking uphill on a two-way road without a curb requires you to turn your front wheels toward the side of the road. This is to ensure that if the brakes fail, the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road, toward the side of the road, and away from traffic.
