Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

What direction should the front tires be turned when parking uphill on a street without a curb?

1. Turned to the left

2. Turned to the right

3. Kept straight

4. None of the above

The correct answer is: None of the above

When parking uphill on a street without a curb, the front tires should be turned to the right. This is essential because if the vehicle rolls backward due to gravity, turning the tires to the right will cause the vehicle to roll off the road and away from traffic, reducing the risk of an accident. Proper positioning of the tires contributes significantly to safety when parking on inclines. Turning the tires to the left or keeping them straight would not protect the vehicle or others if it were to move unexpectedly. Therefore, while "none of the above" might seem like a viable option, the accurate action in this scenario requires an understanding of safety practices related to parking on inclines without a curb.
