Question:

On travelling a heavy vehicle, you must exit a highway using an off-ramp that curves downhill. What should you do?

A Slow down to a safe speed before the curve.
explanation

Freeway and turnpike exits can be particularly dangerous for CMVs. Off and on ramps often have speed limit signs posted. Remember, these speeds may be safe for small vehicles, but may not be safe for larger vehicles or heavily loaded vehicles. Exits that go downhill and turn at the same time can be especially dangerous. The downgrade makes it difficult to reduce speed. Braking and turning at the same time can be a dangerous practice. Make sure you are going slowly enough before you get on the curved part of an off or on ramp. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
