Commercial vehicle drivers must modify vehicle speed and control techniques to prevent loss of traction on compromised road surfaces. Match each hazardous road condition with its corresponding CDL speed management or control protocol.
- Standing water causing dynamic hydroplaningRelease the accelerator and do not apply the brakes until tires regain grip
- Firmly packed snow covering the travel lanesReduce vehicle speed by one-half () or more
- Wet pavement following a rain showerReduce vehicle speed by approximately one-third ()
- Glaze ice formed across the highway surfaceSlow the vehicle to a crawl and stop driving as soon as safely possible
Cevap
Standing water causing dynamic hydroplaning pairs with releasing the accelerator and not applying brakes; firmly packed snow pairs with reducing speed by one-half or more; wet pavement pairs with reducing speed by approximately one-third; glaze ice pairs with slowing to a crawl and stopping as soon as safely possible.
Each hazardous road surface requires a distinct speed reduction or operational technique to compensate for reduced tire-to-road traction: wet pavement requires reducing speed by about , packed snow by or more, glaze ice requires slowing to a crawl and stopping safely, and hydroplaning requires releasing the throttle without touching the brakes.
