All D+E licence questions · DGT question bank

When turning with a D+E combination, the driver must anticipate:

Correct answer

That the combination needs more turning space.

Allow sufficient space for the whole combination rather than calculating the turn as if driving only the bus. The towed unit’s path depends on its axles, coupling and the combination’s geometry; do not assume that it exactly follows the towing vehicle’s path. Anticipate the manoeuvre, adjust speed and check obstacles and other road users throughout the turn. Avoid abrupt turns and do not enter an occupied area.
