Question 4063
When driving behind a large vehicle that wants to turn right, what should you keep in mind?
- That the large vehicle will move as close as possible to the right.
- That the large vehicle will not reduce its speed.
- That the large vehicle will probably move toward the left before turning.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That the large vehicle will probably move toward the left before turning.
If a truck or bus is too large to turn right while keeping close to the edge, it may turn another way, taking the necessary precautions to avoid creating danger. That is why it will probably swing out to the left before turning to give itself room. If you are behind it, expect this, wait until it finishes, and do not move into the gap it leaves on its right.
