14. Transporting hanging meat requires special attention. Why?
Because refrigerated trucks have less traction.
Because you have to drive fast to get it delivered fresh.

All of the above.

leaving the road is more risky than hitting another vehicle.
stopping is always the safest thing to do in an emergency.
All of the above.
