Off-tracking means that when a bus turns:
a.The rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels
b.The rear wheels follow a wider path than the front
c.All wheels follow the same path
d.The bus slides sideways
Explanation
Off-tracking is the tendency of the rear wheels of a long vehicle to follow a tighter, shorter path than the front wheels during a turn. This is why the rear of the bus can cut across a curb or into an adjacent lane. Drivers must account for it by positioning the bus properly before turning.
