In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Safety
- 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).
- When there is no other vehicle in the curve it is possible to be positioned anywhere within it.
- No, the truck driver is not keeping to the right of the road and his position presents a risk to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
