How should you turn the wheels after you have parked your car downhill?

After you have parked your car downhill you should turn the wheels to the right, engage the parking brake and leave the gear stick in reverse (position P if your car has an automatic transmission).

If the brakes fail the car will roll forwards to the right and either hit the kerb and stop or, if there is no kerb, roll onto the hard shoulder – instead of rolling into the road.
