  4. D
    Enter the intersection ahead of the truck before it turns.

Answer

Stay back and wait until the truck has completed its right turn.
Large commercial trucks often must swing left to clear the curb when executing a right turn. The correct action is to remain back and yield space until the truck completes the entire turn.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Recognize the wide right turn maneuver of large commercial vehicles.
Understand that large trucks cannot make sharp turns without swinging left to clear curbs and obstacles.
Trailer length requires off-tracking clearance during tight intersection turns.
2
Select the safest defensive driving action.
Maintain a safe distance behind the truck until the maneuver is completely finished.
Prevents placing your vehicle into the truck's right-side blind spot or turn trajectory.
