@RandomConcepts Thanks for the nice comment. I try to show some of the reasons tractors and trailers react in different situations but I hope it doesn't make it seem harder than it is. After some experience you don't think as much about these maneuvers, it becomes second nature. I'm hoping that by understanding why a truck combination reacts the way it does, new drivers will get to that point sooner, where they automatically know where to turn the steering wheel.

I just got my MR licence. The instructor told me a tip to back a truck trailer. The bottom half of the steering wheel at rest dead straight put a sticky not paper there this symbolises the trailer. Now where the paper goes so will the back of the trailer. Hope this is clear.
