One of the most common emergency situations commercial drivers experience is tire failure. Which of the following is NOT normally a sign or indication of tire failure?
  1. Vibrations
  2. Loud bang
  3. Heavy steering
  4. Low air brake pressure signal
Explanation
Answer: D - When tire failure occurs, it normally occurs with certain signs or indications. These can include the sound of a loud bang, sudden vibrations, and the feeling that the steering is suddenly heavy. Loss of air pressure is not normally a sign of tire failure. Drivers of commercial vehicles that use dual wheels need to be especially alert to tire failure signs as they are often harder to identify when there are dual wheels on a rig.
