What can happen if you misjudge off-tracking at a corner with a utility pole near the curb?
- A.The trailer can strike the pole even though the tractor cleared it easily
- B.The pole will always be seen in time
- C.Only the tractor can hit corner objects
- D.Off-tracking protects the trailer from poles
Correct answer
A. The trailer can strike the pole even though the tractor cleared it easily
Why
Clearance for the tractor proves nothing for the trailer behind it. The trailer's inside path is exactly where corner poles, signs, and parked cars stand.
