    C. I've talked to a former Conway driver that empty wiggle wagons are the worst in high winds.

    ..and isn't D. always "All of the above" or "None of the above"?

    I would call the trailer shop and order another trailer bumper. Joking, just let them pass you, idiots get bored easy, and move on.

    I had an AL license about 5 years ago. Don't member that question.

    Wind pull? What is that even in reference too?

    Actual resistance? Or the amount of surface in a crosswind? Or, suction generated by a passing trailer?

    Kinda makes me wonder if they shouldn't be asking the gestation period of kangaroos too.

    Correct answer in our manual (MS) reduce speed and allow them to pass.

    The thinking is, a tailgater is in a hurry and won't stay there long if you slow down.

    Reducing your speed, increases your following distance, hence I am correct:biggrin_25522: I win I win!
