If you cannot see a large truck’s side mirrors, what should you assume?
A side view of white tractor-trailer B is beside an enlarged cab detail. A leader identifies the actual mirror beside the cab door. No following vehicle or gap is shown.
Correct answer: The truck driver probably cannot see your vehicle.
Why
If you cannot see a truck’s side mirrors, assume its driver cannot see you and create space. Seeing a mirror is a useful visibility check, but it is not a guarantee that the truck driver has noticed your vehicle.
