When parallel parking on an uphill on the street without a curb, all drivers should angle their front wheels:

Towards the right
Towards the left
Do not need to angle wheels if you use the parking brake
Always turn them to the left regardless of the hill

The correct answer is: Towards the right

When parallel parking on an uphill without a curb, all drivers should angle their front wheels towards the right. This is because angling the wheels towards the right will prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street in case the parking brake fails. If the wheels are angled towards the left, the vehicle can roll downhill and potentially cause an accident. Choosing the other options would not provide any protection against potential rolling. Therefore, the safest option is to angle the front wheels towards the right when parallel parking on an uphill without a curb.
