Driving SafelyPregunta 60 de 60
Why is it important to check your mirrors frequently when driving a combination vehicle?
a.To watch the sky
b.To check the paint
c.To read road signs behind you
d.To monitor the trailer position, watch for trailer skids or tire problems, and confirm the trailer is tracking properly
Explicación
Frequent mirror checks let you monitor the trailer's position, spot the early signs of a trailer skid or jackknife, and catch problems like a smoking tire or shifting load. Because the trailer lags and off-tracks, mirrors are your main way to see what it is doing. Early detection gives you time to react safely.
