  1. To the right, toward the edge of the roadCevap
  2. B
    To the left, toward the center of the road
  3. C
    Straight ahead, parallel with the edge of the road
  4. D
    Toward whichever side of the road has the widest paved shoulder

Cevap

To the right, toward the edge of the road
When parking facing uphill on a street without a curb, turning the front wheels to the right ensures that if the vehicle's brakes fail, it will roll backward off the road and away from moving traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the parking environment variables (grade and curb status).
The car is facing uphill on a road without a curb.
The presence of a curb determines whether the back of a front tire can lock against a physical barrier.
2
Determine the rolling hazard path in the event of mechanical brake failure.
Without a curb, turning front wheels to the right forces the rear of the car to roll off the road surface onto the shoulder, preventing collision with traffic.
If turned left without a curb, gravity would roll the car into the roadway.
