When parking on any hill, you should:

  1. Use your emergency brake

  2. Park downhill and turn your wheels away from the curb

  3. Park downhill and turn your wheels towards the curb

  4. Use blocks or wedges to secure the wheel

The correct answer is: Park downhill and turn your wheels towards the curb

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the wheels towards the curb to prevent your vehicle from rolling into traffic. Option A may seem like a logical choice, but simply using your emergency brake may not be enough to hold your vehicle on a steep incline. Option B is incorrect because it is unsafe to park facing downhill as it increases the risk of a collision if your vehicle rolls out of control. Option D may work, but turning your wheels towards the curb is a more effective and recommended method for parking on a hill.
