Driving SafelyPregunta 59 de 60
On a slippery road, how should you adjust your driving in a combination vehicle to prevent skids?
a.Drive at your normal speed
b.Brake harder than usual
c.Reduce speed, increase following distance, and brake and steer gently to keep traction
d.Use only the trailer brakes
Explicación
On wet, snowy, or icy roads you should slow down, leave much more following distance, and make all inputs gentle to keep the tires from losing traction. Sudden braking or steering can cause the trailer to skid or jackknife. Smooth, gradual control is the key to staying stable on slippery surfaces.
