Zorluk: OrtaDefensive Driving and Hazard Anticipation

When driving past a line of parallel-parked vehicles, seeing a parked vehicle with its front wheels turned outward toward your lane of travel is an early visual indicator that the driver may pull into traffic.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True. Front wheels turned toward the roadway serve as a reliable visual indicator that a parked vehicle may enter your lane, requiring you to adjust speed or position defensively.
The statement is correct because recognizing turned wheels as a signal of potential movement allows defensive drivers to anticipate hazards and take preemptive action, such as covering the brake or adjusting lane positioning.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Scan the environment ahead for early visual cues from parked vehicles.
Identify key signals such as driver occupation, brake lights, exhaust, or turned front wheels.
Anticipating potential hazards early allows time to adjust position or speed safely.
2
Evaluate the visual indicator of front wheels angled toward the travel lane.
Recognize that angled wheels indicate the driver is preparing to pull out from the curb.
Vehicle orientation reveals intended direction of movement before the vehicle begins rolling.
3
Apply defensive driving techniques.
Cover the brake and create a space cushion by shifting slightly left within the lane if safe.
Proactive spacing mitigates risk if the vehicle enters the lane unexpectedly.
