Why should you leave a generous gap when moving into the lane ahead of a heavy truck?
Correct answer: The truck generally needs more distance to stop than your car does.
Why
A heavy truck generally needs more time and space to brake than a passenger vehicle. Signal early and leave a generous gap when moving ahead of it. Cutting closely in front can remove the truck driver’s safety margin and force sudden braking.
