Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
On the interstate you drive in the lane next to a tractor-trailer, beside the middle of the trailer. You cannot see the truck's side mirrors. What does this tell you?
A travels in the lane beside the middle of white tractor-trailer B. The card repeats that A cannot see B's side mirrors.
Correct answer: The truck driver probably cannot see you, so pass or drop back when it is safe
Why
Large trucks have blind spots, called No-Zones, at the front, at the back and on both sides. If the truck driver must change lanes quickly, a car in a side No-Zone can be hit. The bigger the truck, the bigger its blind spots, so spend as little time as possible beside it.
