Why should steering inputs be limited while backing a trailer?
An east-facing blue pickup and a conventional single cargo trailer are aligned straight in a clear paved practice area, before reversing.
Correct answer: To prevent excessive articulation and reduce the risk of jackknifing
Why
Use small steering corrections while backing a trailer. If the angle becomes excessive, stop and pull forward to straighten before trying again.
