During a right-hand turn, the path of the rear wheels is closest to which part of the curb?

• A. The center of the lane
• B. The curb
• C. The traffic lane boundary
• D. The opposite curb

Answer: (B)

In a right-hand turn the front wheels steer into the corner while the rear wheels follow along a path that sits inside the front-wheel path. That tighter inner path brings the rear axle closest to the curb on the right side. So the rear wheels are nearest to the curb. This matters for clearance and safe steering—you don’t want the rear wheels to come too close or scrape the curb. The center of the lane and the lane boundary describe other parts of the path, and the opposite curb is on the far side, not where the rear wheels travel.
