Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A large truck ahead of you signals a right turn. It swings to the left first, which leaves an open space between the truck and the curb. What should you do?
Blue A approaches behind a large truck B that has swung left before the right-hand corner. The card states that B signals right.
Correct answer: Stay behind the truck until it finishes the turn
Why
Trucks swing wide because their rear wheels follow a shorter path than their front wheels. The space at the curb is in the driver's blind zone. Large vehicles also need two lanes in a roundabout, so give them room there too.
