Off-Tracking & Turning Wide

If another vehicle is in the space your trailer will sweep during a turn, what should you do?

  • A.Turn anyway, the larger vehicle has priority
  • B.Flash lights and continue turning
  • C.Back up into traffic to try a different angle immediately
  • D.Wait until the space is clear rather than forcing the turn and squeezing the other vehicle
Correct answer

D. Wait until the space is clear rather than forcing the turn and squeezing the other vehicle

Why

Size does not create right-of-way. Forcing a turn puts the other driver between your trailer and the curb with no escape.
