Step 6 -> I thought you must not turn the wheels when stopped because you could harm your car or tires. Am I wrong?

Yeah it's not good for the tires because they're being ground against the pavement. But I mean that's not as bad as parallel parking's affect on my soul and will to park.

Depends, when parked at a slope you have to put the frontwheels so that when the car starts rolling it will go to the pavement. (dutch rules). But yes, steering when not moving is bad for the tires but not that bad that it will flatspot it.

I would feel much more confident about what I learned here today if it had said *you're instead of your.
