Explanation
You should keep your wheels pointed straight ahead when you park parallel to a curb on a level street and when you are waiting to make a left turn at an intersection. If your wheels are pointed to the left and a vehicle hits you from behind, you may be pushed into oncoming traffic. If you park on a hill, you should turn your wheels to the right so that if the brake fails and your car starts to move, it will roll away from traffic and/or into the curb.
