You're pulling triples and traffic ahead suddenly slows on the highway. What is the safest way to respond?

Pick an answer

1. Begin slowing early and smoothly, since the combination needs more distance and abrupt braking risks trailer instability
2. Change lanes abruptly to avoid slowing down at all
3. Rely on the trailer hand valve alone to slow the whole combination
4. Wait until you're close to the slowdown, then brake hard to match the traffic as quickly as possible even if that means braking harder than usual
