Home › CDL Practice Tests › Combination Vehicles Questions › Question 213
Compared with a single semi-trailer, doubles and triples generally require:
- A.Less following distance because they are more stable
- B.The same handling in all conditions
- C.No extra inspection points
- D.More following distance, more time and space to turn, pass, and stop, and extra care in wind and on slick roads
Correct answer
D. More following distance, more time and space to turn, pass, and stop, and extra care in wind and on slick roads
Why
More length, more articulation points, and more swing add up to a vehicle that needs bigger margins everywhere. Drivers plan gaps, turns, and stops for the whole set, not just the tractor.
