What is a safe practice when you must stop a long combination on the shoulder?
- A.Stopping with just the tractor off the road is sufficient
- B.Pull completely off the traveled roadway with the whole combination, set the brakes, and place warning devices, remembering how much length you have to position
- C.Warning devices are unnecessary for vehicles over 40 feet
- D.Park half on the shoulder to save room for others
Correct answer
B. Pull completely off the traveled roadway with the whole combination, set the brakes, and place warning devices, remembering how much length you have to position
Why
A trailer left in the travel lane is a wall waiting for the next driver, especially at night. Getting every foot of the outfit clear and marking it properly is what the stop requires.
