  3. C
    Pass the tractor-trailer on its left side while it executes the turn.
  4. D
    Move into the oncoming traffic lane to bypass the truck before it turns.

Cevap

Remain at a safe distance behind the tractor-trailer and wait until it completes the turn before proceeding.
Large commercial vehicles cannot make tight right turns due to their length and trailer off-tracking. Truck drivers often swing wide to the left to clear curbs and street signs. The safest practice is to wait behind the truck until the maneuver is completed.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the heavy vehicle maneuver
Recognize that large trucks need to swing left to clear the curb when turning right.
Off-tracking causes the rear trailer wheels to follow a tighter path than the front tractor wheels.
2
Evaluate potential hazards and blind spots
Understand that the right side of the truck becomes a severe blind spot (No-Zone) during this maneuver.
The driver cannot see passenger vehicles attempting to squeeze by on the right.
3
Select the correct safe driving action
Maintain space and remain behind the truck until the intersection is clear.
Prevents squeeze-play accidents and maintains clear visual communication with the commercial driver.
