Driving Safely第 45 / 60 题
Why should tank vehicle drivers increase their following distance?
a.Because tanks accelerate faster than other vehicles
b.Because liquid cargo makes the horn quieter
c.Because the vehicle is heavy and surge lengthens stopping ability
d.Because tanks are not allowed to use the brakes
解析
A loaded tank is heavy and the liquid surge can push the vehicle forward when braking, both of which increase stopping distance. Extra following distance gives you the room needed to stop smoothly and safely. Tank drivers should leave more space than they would in a lighter vehicle.
