  Trailers/semitrailers When driving over depressions or elevations, please be aware that the articulation angle at front ; or rear : changes. If the tractor/trailer combination jack- knifes, the clearance between the tractor vehicle and the trailer/semitrailer is reduced. The articulation angles are dependent on the particular tractor vehicle and trailer or semi- trailer.
