Question:7

In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?

3981
  • When driving on a sharp curve, it is required to stay in it as shortly as possible; hence his position is correct.
  • In sharp curves it is necessary to “cut” through the curve, in order to reduce the centrifugal force (the force that acts on the vehicle while it turns).

Question:9

What risk is a driver facing while making a right turn?
