What should you do when parking your vehicle facing downhill?

A: Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb

B: Park close to the bumper of another car

C: Park with two wheels on the kerb

D: Turn the steering wheel away from the kerb

Turning the wheels towards the kerb will allow them to act as a chock, preventing any forward movement of the vehicle. It will also help to leave your car in gear, or select ‘Park’ if you have an automatic.
