Which rule of the driving technique should be adhered to by the tram driver when entering a sharp bend of the track?
Explanation
Correct answer: To reduce speed.
When entering a sharp bend in the tramway at excessive speed, the tram is subjected to a powerful centrifugal force, which poses a real risk of the vehicle losing stability and derailing. For this reason, a key principle of driving technique is to reduce speed before entering the bend. This allows the bend to be negotiated safely and ensures the comfort and safety of the passengers.
