Driving SafelyPregunta 54 de 60
When driving a combination vehicle on a curved highway exit ramp, what should you do?
a.Maintain highway speed to keep momentum
b.Slow down before the ramp to a speed well below the posted ramp limit, because the limit may be too fast for a loaded truck
c.Brake hard in the middle of the curve
d.Coast in neutral through the curve
Explicación
You should slow down before entering a curved ramp, often to a speed below the posted advisory limit, because those limits are set for cars, not heavy trucks. Braking in the curve can cause a skid or rollover. Reducing speed before the curve lets you drive through it under control.
