Why is staying beside a large truck on its right dangerous?
Blue A travels in the right lane beside the right side of white tractor-trailer B. Both face right; no blind area is marked in the question.
Correct answer: Its right side has a large blind spot, and it may turn wide
Why
A large truck has substantial blind areas, especially on its right. If you cannot see the driver in the truck’s mirror, the driver may not see you. Avoid lingering beside it, and give a turning truck room rather than squeezing between it and the curb.
