Your wheels should be pointed straight ahead when you are:
|
Waiting to make a left turn at an intersection.
|
|
|
Parked alongside a curb on a level street.
|
|
|
All of the above.
|
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.
