Question:

Which is correct about quick steering movements and doubles/triples?

A Doubles/triples turn over from quick steering moves more easily than many vehicles.
explanation

Figure 6.1 shows 8 types of combination vehicles and the rearward amplification each has in a quick lane change. Rigs with the least crack-the-whip effect are shown at the top, and those with the most at the bottom. Rearward amplification of 2.0 in the chart means that the rear trailer is twice as likely to turn over as the tractor. You can see that triples have a rearward amplification of 3.5. This means you can roll the last trailer of triples 3.5 times as easily as a 5-axle tractor. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
