Question: What is the primary risk if a driver does not account for off-tracking when turning a long combination vehicle through an intersection?
Answer options:
- The trailer could accelerate excessively.
- The tractor could lift off the ground. ✅ The trailer's wheels could run over the curb, a signpost, or another vehicle.
- The brakes could overheat due to excessive turning.
Correct answer: The trailer's wheels could run over the curb, a signpost, or another vehicle.
