Why should you leave extra room when stopped uphill behind a large vehicle?
A is stopped behind large truck B, both centred in the same lane. A separate schematic grade profile shows that the road rises to the right.
Correct answer: It may roll backward before moving forward
Why
When stopped uphill behind a large vehicle, leave extra room in case it rolls backward while starting. Avoid stopping so close that even a small rollback would reach your vehicle.
