Why is it important to be aware of the trailer's tail swing when making a turn in a combination vehicle?

Pick an answer

1. It matters only for trailers over 53 feet long
2. The rear of the trailer can swing wide of the tractor's path, potentially hitting something the driver did not account for
3. Trailers always follow the exact same path as the tractor with absolutely no swing at the rear end
4. Tail swing only matters when backing, never during forward turns
