Doubles & Triples Practice Question 53

TDoubles & Triples · Question 53

A driver completing a triples trip should:

• BUse a designated spot with adequate length and break the combination if leaving long-term
• CDisconnect at random
• DLeave the trailers in traffic

Correct answer: B. Use a designated spot with adequate length and break the combination if leaving long-term

Why: Triples are long; designated parking is rare. Plan ahead, and break the combination if you will be parked beyond a short stop.
