Why should A avoid following closely in the rear No-Zone of tractor-trailer B?
A long white tractor-trailer B and blue car A travel to the right on a two-lane carriageway. A is behind B. No blind-spot overlay is shown.
Correct answer: B’s driver may not see A, and A needs space if the truck slows or stops
Why
Large vehicles have danger areas around them, including blind areas at the rear and sides. If you follow a truck too closely, its driver may not see you and your own view ahead is restricted. Leave a safe following distance and avoid lingering beside the truck or cutting closely in front. Seeing a mirror alone is not a guarantee that the driver has seen you. The diagram’s shaded areas are illustrative; actual visibility varies.
