Why should a tractor be driven more slowly on uneven road surfaces?

  1. A.To reduce road noise.
  2. B.To avoid severe bouncing.
  3. C.To maintain tyre pressure.
  4. D.To avoid fuel spilling from the tank.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. To avoid severe bouncing.

Drivers should drive more slowly on an uneven road surface because driving a tractor at speed could cause the vehicle or the trailer to become unstable and difficult to control. During severe bouncing the tractor's wheels can lose contact with the road, negatively affecting steering and braking.
