If your vehicle is facing downhill,
turn your steering wheel towards the curb. If your vehicle is
facing uphill, turn your steering wheel away from the curb. Drivers
can be cited anywhere in Washington for not properly "curbing"
wheels.
Don''t think it makes any difference?
The last incident in Pullman of a car rolling down a street because
it's wheels weren't "curbed" properly, was in December
