Why should a driver avoid lingering beside or directly behind a large truck?
Blue car A travels beside white tractor-trailer B, both facing right. The question has no blind-spot shading.
Correct answer: Those areas may be hidden from the truck driver's view
Why
Large vehicles have substantial blind spots on multiple sides, so a smaller vehicle should remain visible or move through the area safely without lingering.
