  1. To the right, toward the edge of the roadCevap
  2. B
    To the left, toward the center of the roadway
  3. C
    Straight ahead, parallel with the edge of the road
  4. D
    In whatever direction feels comfortable, as the transmission lock holds the vehicle

Cevap

To the right, toward the edge of the road
When parking facing uphill on a road without a curb, turning the front wheels toward the right (the shoulder or edge of the road) ensures that if the vehicle's parking brake fails, the car will roll backward off the roadway rather than into oncoming traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the slope direction and roadside conditions
The vehicle is parked facing uphill on a street with no curb.
Wheel positioning rules depend on whether the vehicle is facing uphill or downhill and whether a concrete curb is present to catch the tires.
2
Determine the safety requirement if mechanical brakes fail
The vehicle must roll off the road into the shoulder or embankment rather than into active traffic lanes.
Turning wheels to the right ensures the rear of the car swings toward the outer shoulder if the car rolls backward downhill.
