Revision question · Vehicle condition

When manoeuvring a multi-fixed-axle vehicle around a tight corner, what is the safe speed approach?

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

Use the highest gear possible

Drive at a very low speed

Apply the exhaust brake (retarder)

Reduce the pressure in the rear tyres

Show the answer

Drive at a very low speedThis was the right answer

Use a very low, controlled speed and allow for every wheel and body path. Tight turns can scrub fixed-axle tyres; low speed improves control but does not guarantee elimination of scrub. Follow the actual axle and steering configuration.
