Safe DrivingPregunta 52 de 120
You are driving an empty flatbed trailer in strong crosswinds on an open stretch of highway. What is the greatest concern?
a.The engine will overheat
b.The light trailer can be pushed sideways or even blown over, so speed must be reduced
c.Fuel consumption will drop
d.The air brakes will lose pressure faster
Explicación
An empty or lightly loaded high-sided trailer has little weight to resist wind force, so a strong gust can push it out of the lane or tip it. Wind does not cause overheating or air loss, and fuel savings are irrelevant to the safety issue.
