What should a tanker driver do when entering a highway on-ramp?

a.Accelerate quickly to match highway speed
b.Slow down well below the posted ramp speed because the curve could cause a rollover
c.Maintain the posted ramp speed since it accounts for all vehicles
d.Use the shoulder if the ramp is too sharp

Explanation

When entering a highway on-ramp, tanker drivers should slow down well below the posted ramp speed. On-ramps are curved, and the posted speed may be too fast for a tanker with its high center of gravity and liquid surge. Entering too fast could cause a rollover.
