Cevap

Turn the front wheels away from the curb (to the left) so that the back of the front tire will catch against the curb face if the vehicle rolls backward.
When parking facing uphill with a curb, turning the front wheels away from the curb (to the left) ensures that if the vehicle starts to roll backward downhill, the back of the front tire will strike the curb, stopping the car safely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the incline direction and whether a raised curb is present
The vehicle is parked facing uphill alongside a raised curb.
The direction of the slope and presence of a curb determine how gravity will move the car if mechanical brakes fail.
2
Determine the direction the wheels must turn to block vehicle rollback
Turning wheels away from the curb (left) causes the back of the front tire to rest against or roll into the curb.
The curb acts as a physical chock stopping the vehicle from rolling down into the roadway.
