Revision question · The road

On a completely empty curtain-sided vehicle whose approved procedure permits both curtains to be safely secured open, why might you consider doing so?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

To use less fuel

It's a legal requirement

To prevent the curtains from tearing

To reduce the effect of side wind

Show the answer

To reduce the effect of side windThis was the right answer

This may reduce crosswind loading, but only where the vehicle and safe procedure permit it without obstructing mirrors or damaging the body. Secure the curtains before travel in a safe place. Obey restrictions and do not continue in conditions that make vehicle control unsafe.
