When backing a trailer that has begun to drift off course, drivers should:
  1. Turn the bottom of the steering wheel in the opposite direction.
  2. Turn the bottom of the steering wheel in the same direction.
  3. Turn the top of the steering wheel in the opposite direction.
  4. Turn the top of the steering wheel in the same direction.
Explanation
Answer: D - If a trailer begins to drift off course drivers should turn the top of the steering wheel in the direction of the drift. This action will bring the trailer back on course. It is always best to back up slowly as this helps to correct drift faster than when backing at a faster speed. Drift can be seen in the mirrors and drivers should react to drift as quickly as possible.
