Question 238 of 485

You drive a bus with a trailer on a road with a single lane for each direction and you approach a very tight left curve with no visibility. How must you adapt the driving manner?

A reduce the speed before the curve, due to the increased danger of the trailer skidding;
B reduce the speed, drive in the middle of the lane and accelerate slightly when you reach the apex of the curve;
C maintain the speed, and in the curve brake.

Explanation

For answer  A 

You are obliged to drive with a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside the urban area, in particularly dangerous curves signalled as such or in which the visibility is less than 50 meters. And if the bus you are driving has a trailer attached you will reduce the speed in time (before the curve), because the danger of the trailer skidding is very high. The crossing of a curve is done with reduced and constant speed, and only after exiting the curve, when the visibility is good, you can accelerate.


For answer  B 

When you reach the apex of the curve, meaning in the middle of it, NOT is the right moment to accelerate. The right moment to accelerate is right after exiting the curve, when you also have the best visibility.


For answer  C 

It is not recommended to brake inside the curve, the braking is done before the curve. If you brake inside the curve, the trailer will tend to move straight ahead and the phenomenon of trailer oversteering appears.


The correct answer is: A
