Correct answer to question 69 (Combination Vehicles): The distance between the trailer's kingpin and its rear axles changes how far the rear wheels cut inside the tractor's path

Why

It's the distance from the pivot point at the kingpin to the rear axles, not the trailer's overall length, that determines how sharply the rear wheels cut inside the turn, so two same-length trailers can off-track differently.
