What should be your response to a large truck making a turn in front of you?

• A. Accelerate to get ahead of it
• B. Stay back to see and avoid hazards
• C. Ignore it and proceed
• D. Honk your horn

Answer: (B)

When a large truck is making a turn in front of you, it's important to stay back to maintain a safe distance and ensure you have a clear view of any potential hazards. Large trucks require more space to maneuver due to their size, and they may swing wide or take longer to complete a turn than you would expect. By staying back, you allow yourself the opportunity to see the entire turning path of the truck and identify any obstacles or pedestrians that may not be visible to the truck driver.

Maintaining this distance also helps prevent potential collisions. Large vehicles have significant blind spots, and by positioning yourself further behind, you reduce the risk of being in a dangerous area where the truck driver may not see you. This careful approach enhances your safety and the safety of others on the road during the maneuver.
