A car is sitting where your off-tracking trailer will pass at a tight corner. What is the safe action?
- A.Squeeze past slowly, contact is the car's fault
- B.Honk continuously and keep turning
- C.Mount the curb to go around
- D.Stop before the turn traps the car, and wait or let the car move rather than squeezing past
Correct answer
D. Stop before the turn traps the car, and wait or let the car move rather than squeezing past
Why
Stopping early keeps an awkward situation from becoming a sideswipe. The trailer will pass exactly through that space whether the car is there or not.
