When making a right turn onto a narrow street, when should you swing the tractor wide?
- A.As late in the turn as you safely can, so following traffic is not invited to pass on your right early
- B.Well before the intersection, across all lanes
- C.Never, width is never needed
- D.Only after the trailer has hit the curb
Correct answer
A. As late in the turn as you safely can, so following traffic is not invited to pass on your right early
Why
Early wide swings open the right-side gap for the longest time. Delaying the wide part until the completion of the turn keeps that gap closed while traffic is behind you.
