While following a large truck, which position helps you stay out of its rear blind spot?
Blue car A follows a white tractor-trailer B in the right lane of a divided-road carriageway. Both point right and an open gap separates them.
Correct answer: Well back, where you can see both of the truck’s side mirrors
Why
Keep well back and where both truck mirrors are visible. This helps you avoid the rear blind spot and see more of the road ahead; it does not guarantee that the driver is looking or has noticed you. ICBC recommends at least three seconds behind a large vehicle that blocks your view, with more room when conditions need it.
