Passing target: 80% (32/40)
You are behind a large truck at a city corner. The truck signals a right turn, then swings to the left. This leaves a wide space between the truck and the curb. What should you do?
Truck B signals right and has swung left at a city corner, leaving open space by the right curb. Blue car A approaches from behind, with a clear longitudinal separation from the trailer.
Correct answer: Stay back behind the truck until it completes its turn.
Why
A truck needs extra room to turn, so it often swings left before it turns right. During the turn, the driver cannot see cars directly behind or beside the truck. The space that seems open on the right is the path that the truck will use, so a car there can be caught in a squeeze against the curb.
