  3. C
    To position yourself to pass the lorry on the inside when traffic slows down
  4. D
    To eliminate the need for your own blind spot checks before changing lanes

Cevap

To ensure that the lorry driver is able to see your vehicle in their mirrors
Large goods vehicles have substantial blind spots directly behind them. If you cannot see the driver's side mirrors, the lorry driver cannot see your vehicle. Keeping far enough back so that both mirrors are visible ensures the driver is aware of you and significantly improves your view of the road ahead.
