If you are driving and a large truck ahead is turning right, you should:

• A. The truck may swing wide to complete the right turn.
• B. The truck will stop before the turn.
• C. The truck uses a bike lane.
• D. The truck will stay in its lane.

Answer: (A)

When a large truck is turning right, it often needs extra room to complete the turn. The front wheels turn first, and the trailer can swing wide, sometimes into the lane next to it or even into a bike lane. Because of this maneuver, you can’t assume the truck will stay in its lane or finish the turn in a tight path. The safest approach is to slow down, give the truck plenty of space, and wait until it has finished the turn before proceeding. This helps avoid being caught in the truck’s path or in its blind spots.
