Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
On a two-lane road posted at 45 mph, a trash truck is stopped in your lane while workers collect trash. The center line is broken, and the oncoming lane is clear. How should you pass the truck?
A approaches a stopped rear-loading trash truck while workers are nearby. The broken center line separates an empty oncoming lane.
Correct answer: Slow to no more than 35 mph and pass at least 2 feet to its left
Why
Trash collection workers step on and off the truck and walk into the road. On a highway with at least four lanes, change to a lane that is not next to the truck when you can do it safely. Pass only where passing is allowed and the oncoming lane is clear.
