When making turns, commercial vehicles, including buses, are often at risk of hitting other vehicles or objects. This is due to which of the following factors?
Explanation
Answer: D - When making right or left turns, commercial vehicles, including buses, are often at risk of hitting other vehicles or objects because of off tracking, a wide turning radius, and other vehicles or pedestrians getting too close to the vehicle. Drivers must be aware of their vehicle’s off tracking tendencies. Single trucks, for example, will off track differently than combination trucks. A wide turning radius requires more space and is another reason commercial drivers must be careful when turning. The best way to learn the turning capabilities of any vehicle is to spend time practicing in it in a safe environment.
