Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
On a narrow two-lane street, cars are parked along your right side, and a large truck comes toward you. How should you position your car?
Westbound blue A approaches parked cars on its right and an eastbound truck in the other lane.
Correct answer: Steer a middle path, but give a little more room to the truck.
Why
When hazards are on both sides, split the difference between them. When one hazard is worse, such as a large truck, lean slightly away from it. When hazards come one after another, take them one at a time; for example, let an oncoming car pass before you move out around a bicyclist.
