You are driving and there are oncoming vehicles on your left and a row of parked vehicles on your right. You should steer:

Closer to the oncoming vehicles than the parked vehicles.
Closer to the parked vehicles than the oncoming vehicles.

None of the above.

By steering a middle course between the oncoming vehicles and the parked vehicles, you reduce the risk of colliding with either the parked cars or the oncoming traffic. This also gives you more time and space to react to any unexpected movement from either side, such as a car pulling out of the parking spot or an oncoming vehicle veering into your lane.
