Zorluk: KolayParking, Standing, and Stopping Regulations

A driver is parking a vehicle facing downhill on a road where there is no concrete curb along the shoulder. In which direction should the driver turn the front wheels before setting the parking brake?

  1. Toward the right side of the road (toward the shoulder)Cevap
  2. B
    Toward the left side of the road (toward the center lane)
  3. C
    Straight ahead, keeping the tires parallel to the roadway
  4. D
    Toward whichever direction the rear tires are angled

Cevap

The driver should turn the front wheels toward the right side of the road (toward the shoulder).
When parking facing downhill on any slope—regardless of whether a curb is present—the front wheels must always be turned toward the right (toward the shoulder/edge of the road). If the vehicle moves unexpectedly, it will roll off the roadway instead of into active traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the grade of the road and whether a curb is present
The vehicle is facing downhill on a road with no curb.
Parking rules for hill parking depend on whether the vehicle faces uphill or downhill and if a curb is present to catch the tires.
2
Determine the direction the vehicle would roll if the brakes fail
Facing downhill, gravity will pull the vehicle forward down the slope.
Turning the front wheels toward the right (shoulder) ensures that forward rolling motion carries the vehicle off the road rather than into traffic lanes.
