Control & OperationPregunta 67 de 120
You are backing a trailer and it begins to drift off your intended line. What is the correct correction?
a.Continue backing and hope it straightens
b.Turn the steering wheel sharply and keep backing quickly
c.Set the parking brake and start over from the dock
d.Stop, correct with small steering movements or pull forward to reposition, and back slowly using both mirrors
Explicación
Small corrections made early keep the trailer on line, and pulling forward to reset is always acceptable when the angle gets away from you. Continuing blindly, oversteering at speed, or abandoning the maneuver mid-position leads to a jackknife or a collision.
