Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
You have passed a large truck. Why should you leave a generous gap before moving into its lane ahead?
Correct answer: A close return cuts into the truck's forward stopping space.
Why
Do not cut closely in front of a truck after passing. Large vehicles need room to slow or stop, and a close return can consume that space. Confirm safe clearance and leave a generous gap before signaling and returning to the lane.
