Answer 1

Steering with front wheels allows you to more easily see the part of the car moving into the turn. Steering from the rear would be more like drifting into a turn.

You can visually see this using a tv remote or your phone. As you move it forward pivot the front into the turn first. This is like your car. Then pivot from the rear into a turn and look how it’s like a drift, and would be much harder not to hit things with the rear unless you had an owl neck.
