You have parked a passenger car at the right edge of a sloped road. Having no wheel chocks, you want to use the steering wheel to prevent the car from rolling. What is the correct method?
💡 Hint
When parking on a slope, turning the steering wheel is another way to prevent a rolling accident (Article 11(3)2 of the Enforcement Decree). Think about where the wheels should point so that, even if the car moves, it does not roll into the middle of the lane.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Enforcement Decree Article 11(3)2, the steering must be turned toward the road edge, meaning the side nearer the car. Then even if the car moves, the wheels head toward the curb or roadside instead of rolling into the traffic lane. Turning it toward the centerline could send the car rolling into the middle of the road.
