There are certain conditions when commercial drivers should downshift, including which of the following?

Before entering a curve
Before starting down a hill
When traffic ahead is slowing down
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: D - Commercial drivers will often have to downshift before they enter a curve, start down a hill, or when approaching traffic that has slowed or is stopped ahead of them. The correct manner for downshifting is the same as for upshifting. Forgetting to downshift when facing these conditions can lead to the vehicle moving too fast, or can lead to complete loss of control.
