When parking your vehicle uphill without a curb, you should turn your wheels:

  1. Towards the roadside.

  2. Away from the roadside.

  3. Parallel to the roadside.

  4. It doesn't matter.

The correct answer is: Away from the roadside.

When parking uphill without a curb, turning your wheels away from the roadside is the safest option. This is because if the brakes were to fail, the car would roll backwards and the back wheels would catch on the curb, preventing a potential accident. Turning the wheels towards the roadside or parallel to the roadside can cause the car to roll onto the road, creating a hazardous situation for other drivers. In general, it is important to always follow proper parking procedures to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
