Why should you avoid pumping the brakes when driving a tanker vehicle?
a.It wears out the brake pads faster
b.Each brake release and reapplication can worsen liquid surge effects
c.It uses more air pressure
d.Pumping brakes is actually recommended for tankers
Explanation
Pumping the brakes on a tanker should be avoided because each time you release and reapply the brakes, the liquid surge can push the vehicle forward during the release phase. Instead, apply steady brake pressure to maintain control.
