Practice question
What is the primary danger when transporting liquid cargo in a partially filled tank truck (camion citerne) without internal baffles (cloisons anti-ballant)?
- Liquid surge (effet de ballant): liquid sloshes forward during braking and sideways in turns, destabilising the vehicle and causing rollover
- The liquid turns into solid ice in tropical heat
- The tank creates electrical sparks that short-circuit the starter motor
- The vehicle's steering wheel rotates backwards automatically
