Which of the following is true?
Correct answer
- Large vehicles have a deep blind spot directly behind them where the driver cannot see your vehicle.
- Large vehicles have larger blind spots on both sides than smaller vehicles do.
- It is dangerous to stay in a blind spot of a large vehicle because the driver may not know you?re there.
Explanation
Large vehicles have larger blind spots on both sides than smaller vehicles do. Large vehicles have a deep blind spot directly behind them where the driver cannot see your vehicle. You also severely reduce your own view when following the vehicle closely. It takes longer to pass a large vehicle. Complete your pass as quickly as possible and don?t stay alongside the vehicle. It is dangerous to stay in a blind spot too long because the driver may not know you?re there. Remember: If you can't see the vehicle's driver directly or in its mirrors, he or she can't see you either.
