Driving Safely第 55 / 60 题
How does the trailer respond to steering inputs compared to the tractor, and why does this matter?
a.The trailer responds instantly to steering
b.The trailer never moves independently
c.The trailer lags behind and can swing or off-track, so drivers must plan turns and lane changes with extra room
d.The trailer steers itself
解析
The trailer follows and reacts more slowly than the tractor, lagging behind in turns and lane changes and off-tracking to the inside. This means drivers must plan turns wide and check that the trailer clears obstacles and other lanes. Abrupt steering can make the trailer swing dangerously.
