Zorluk: OrtaParking, Standing, and Stopping Regulations

A driver is parking a motor vehicle facing uphill along the edge of a two-lane road that does not have a raised curb. To prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the parking brake fails, in which direction should the driver turn the front wheels?

  1. Toward the side of the road (to the right)Cevap
  2. B
    Toward the center of the road (to the left)
  3. C
    Straight ahead parallel with the edge of the roadway
  4. D
    In whichever direction the road incline naturally slants

Cevap

The front wheels should be turned toward the side of the road (to the right).
When parking facing uphill on a road without a raised curb, the front wheels must be turned toward the side of the road (to the right). If the parking brake fails, the car will roll backward in a curve that directs the rear of the vehicle off the roadway onto the shoulder, avoiding active traffic lanes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the parking scenario conditions
The vehicle is facing uphill on a grade without a raised concrete curb.
The presence or absence of a raised curb determines the safe steering direction when parking on an incline.
2
Determine the rolling trajectory in the event of brake failure
If the parking brake fails, gravity will cause the vehicle to roll backward down the slope.
Understanding the direction of potential movement allows the driver to set the wheels so the vehicle rolls away from active traffic.
3
Select the proper wheel orientation
Turning the front wheels to the right (toward the shoulder) causes the rear of the vehicle to pivot toward the shoulder, guiding it off the road.
Without a curb to physically block the tire, turning wheels to the right prevents the vehicle from rolling into oncoming traffic.
