When parking downhill on a two-way road where there is no curb, what direction should your wheels be facing?

Forward
Left
Away from the road
Right

The correct answer is: Away from the road

When parking downhill on a two-way road with no curb, it is important to turn your wheels in the direction of the road. This means turning your wheels towards the side of the road. This will prevent your car from rolling into the middle of the road if the brakes fail or if another car hits it while parked. Choosing any of the other options could result in the car rolling in the wrong direction and causing a potential hazard for other drivers on the road. Therefore, the best option is to turn the wheels away from the road to ensure the car stays in place.
