Passing target: 80% (16/20)
You wait behind a tractor-trailer at an intersection. Its right turn signal is on, and it moves to the left. This opens a gap between the truck and the curb. What should you do?
A waits behind tractor-trailer B at an intersection. B has shifted left, leaving a gap at the curb; the card repeats that B signals right.
Correct answer: Stay behind the truck, and let it complete its turn before you move
Why
A long truck needs extra space to turn, because its rear wheels follow a shorter path than its front wheels. Before a right turn, the truck driver often moves left, and then the trailer goes across the space near the curb. Always look for the turn signals of a truck, and stay back until the turn is complete.
