Question: When driving a combination vehicle, what is the best strategy to compensate for off-tracking on a right turn?

Answer options: ✅ Start wide, then cut in sharply to maintain clearance.

  • Stay close to the curb and turn the steering wheel sharply.
  • Initiate the turn from the leftmost lane and swing wide.
  • Start slightly wide, then track closer to the curb as the trailer turns.

Correct answer: Start wide, then cut in sharply to maintain clearance.

Explanation: To compensate for off-tracking, especially on a right turn, the driver should start wide (move left before turning) to allow the trailer to follow a tighter path without riding over the curb or hitting objects. This is a fundamental concept for safe turning with combination vehicles.
