During a turn, where should you focus your mirror checks?
- A.Only on traffic far ahead
- B.Only on the outside mirror
- C.Mirrors are not useful in turns
- D.On the trailer wheels and the inside of the turn, to watch the off-tracking path clear curbs, poles, and other vehicles
Correct answer
D. On the trailer wheels and the inside of the turn, to watch the off-tracking path clear curbs, poles, and other vehicles
Why
The danger in a turn is along the trailer's inside path, where it passes closest to fixed objects and other road users. Watching that path lets you stop before contact instead of after.
