Home › CDL Practice Tests › Combination Vehicles Questions › Question 88
When making a right turn in a combination vehicle, why must you keep the rear of the trailer close to the curb?
- A.To prevent a car from trying to pass on your right and being squeezed as you turn
- B.To scrape the curb and slow down
- C.So pedestrians step back
- D.It is not necessary to stay close
Correct answer
A. To prevent a car from trying to pass on your right and being squeezed as you turn
Why
If you swing far left and leave a large gap at the curb, a car may slip into it. When you then turn, that car is trapped between your trailer and the curb.
