What does the term swept path mean for a combination vehicle?
- A.Only the tire tracks on wet pavement
- B.The path of the front bumper only
- C.The full width of ground covered by all parts of the tractor and trailer as they move through a turn
- D.A cleaning route for street sweepers
Correct answer
C. The full width of ground covered by all parts of the tractor and trailer as they move through a turn
Why
Thinking in swept path terms forces you to account for the trailer's inside cut and the tractor's front swing together. Anything inside that band during the turn is at risk.
