You are operating a loaded van-trailer across an open bridge during gusty weather conditions. As your combination exits the wind-shielded section of the bridge abutment into an exposed crosswind area, what should you do to maintain proper space to the sides?
- ACrowd the windward edge of the lane early to counteract anticipated trailer off-tracking from the gust.
- Firmly grip the steering wheel, anticipate lateral wind push, and keep the vehicle centered within the lane.Cevap
- CReduce following distance behind the preceding vehicle so its slipstream blocks side winds from hitting the trailer.
- DEngage the engine retarder immediately to scrub speed rapidly whenever lateral air turbulence is encountered.
Cevap
Firmly grip the steering wheel, anticipate lateral wind push, and keep the vehicle centered within the lane.
Keeping the vehicle centered within the lane ensures an equal defensive cushion on both sides. When emerging from sheltered structures into open crosswinds, maintaining a firm steering grip allows the driver to counter sudden lateral displacement without drifting into adjacent lanes or shoulder barriers.
