Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: 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.
