Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 58 (Doubles/Triples): Treat it as a possible air system fault at that trailer and investigate before driving, rather than assuming it's normal
Why
Spring brakes applying on their own usually means that trailer isn't holding air pressure correctly, which is worth diagnosing directly rather than treating as either a good sign or something to ignore.
