When parking uphill with a curb, you should turn your wheels:

Towards the curb.
Away from the curb.
Parallel to the curb.
It doesn't matter.

The correct answer is: Away from the curb.

When parking uphill with a curb, you should turn your wheels away from the curb. This is because it allows the tires to roll away from the curb if the car were to roll backwards. If the wheels were turned towards the curb, the car could potentially hit the curb and cause damage. Turning the wheels parallel to the curb is also incorrect as it does not provide any protection against rolling backwards. Choosing "It doesn't matter" is also incorrect as proper wheel turning is important for safety purposes.
