re:  "On hills also turn the wheels toward the curb."

Hmmm.  Maybe it doesn't really matter, but if facing up hill, I was taught to
turn the wheels away from the curb.  This means if rolling backwards, the rear
of the wheel will contact the curb immediately (& hopefully stop, not hop).

But probably the most important thing is that the wheels be turned, in either
direction, to avoid accelerating straight down the street.
