When driving a tanker on a curve posted at 35 mph, what speed should you travel?
a.35 mph as posted
b.Well below 35 mph
c.40 mph to get through quickly
d.It depends on the weight of the cargo only
Explanation
You should travel well below the posted 35 mph speed for the curve. Tankers can roll over at the posted curve speed because of their high center of gravity and the effects of liquid surge. Always reduce speed to well below posted limits before entering any curve.
