Pick an answer

Correct!

Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 39 (Doubles/Triples): The overall combination is longer and heavier, needing more room and time to stop safely

Why

More total length and weight means more distance is needed to stop safely, so following distance has to increase along with the size of the combination, not stay the same as for a shorter rig.
