Passing target: 70% (14/20)
You pass a truck on a two-lane road. You can now see the truck's front bumper in your inside rear-view mirror. What should you do before you move back into the right lane?
A is ahead of truck B after using the opposing lane to pass. A separate inside-mirror detail shows the truck’s front, including the front bumper.
Correct answer: Signal right and look quickly over your right shoulder for clear space.
Why
If you cut back in too soon, you can sideswipe the vehicle that you passed or force its driver to brake hard. The law says you may not return to the right side until you are safely clear of the passed vehicle. Large trucks need much more distance to stop than cars, so leave extra space before you move in front of one.
