Texas Car / Permit practice question · Parking & Stopping

When you park facing uphill on a road with no curb, you should turn your front wheels:

Answer choices

• to the right, toward the edge of the road— Correct answer
• straight ahead in every case
• toward the center of the road
• the wheel position does not matter without a curb

Why this is the answer

The Texas handbook's hill-parking diagram shows that when there is no curb, you turn the wheels to the right, toward the edge of the road, so a car that rolls heads off the road rather than into traffic.
