You follow a large truck on the highway. How can you tell that you are far enough back for the truck driver to see your car?
A follows a large tractor-trailer B in the right-hand lane of a two-way highway. The truck and A’s position are shown from above; no driver-view mirror detail or numerical following distance appears in the question.
Correct answer: You can see both of the truck's side mirrors.
Why
A truck blocks your view of the road ahead and needs a long distance to stop. Tailgating a truck is especially dangerous, and a longer gap lets you see farther ahead. Trucks are four times more likely than cars to be in a collision, so give them extra space.
