To put it simply if drivers think that the type of ‘rear steer’ axle that just supports and tracks the overhang, created by the fixed axles ahead of it, is there to help them regarding reducing or cancelling the resulting tail sweep, as opposed to it might as well not even be there in that regard,
then we’ve got a big safety issue with the van crash topic being the alarm bell.Rear steers added to the Carryfast strong opinions on things he has no idea about list then
To be fair though, he’s spot on here.
That’s exactly what I say to people, pretend that the steering axle just isn’t there
^ Exactly.It’s not there to help or immunise the driver from tail sweep issues of which there are obviously a lot in the case of an extended overhang trailer and that’s exactly what they are no more no less.
Or in the case of those who prefer to ignore or argue with the fact, that it’s just there to support and track the over hang,
go for it.
As if by magic it will cancel out the tail swing/sweep which would otherwise be created by the over hang behind the fixed axle/s if it wasn’t there.
