There are two things that a driver can do to prevent a rollover. They are: (1) keep the cargo as close to the ground as possible and (2):
Answer: B
Go slow around turns.
Rollover prevention is primarily the result of going slow through turns (slowing momentum) and keeping the cargo as low to the ground as possible (lowering the center of gravity).
All choices
- AMake sure that the brakes are properly adjusted.
- BGo slow around turns.
- CKeep both hands firmly on the steering wheel.
Why the other answers are wrong
A. Make sure that the brakes are properly adjusted.
Proper brake adjustment helps overall safety but does not directly prevent rollovers like slowing in turns.
C. Keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel.
Keeping hands on the wheel is good practice but does not specifically prevent rollovers.
