Question

class e general knowledge question #13 / 50
you are driving on a highway and are following a large truck. you should
select a letter to choose your answer
a follow the truck closely, like driving in a convoy, to improve your gas mileage.
b move partly into the lane to your left, so the truck driver can see you.
c stay well back, in a place where the truck driver can see you in their side mirrors.

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect because following a large truck closely is dangerous (e.g., reduced reaction time, limited visibility of hazards ahead) and does not improve gas mileage in a safe or recommended way.
• Option B is incorrect as partially moving into the left lane while following a truck can be unsafe and is not the standard recommended practice for visibility.
• Option C is correct. Staying well back from a large truck ensures that the truck driver can see you in their side mirrors, and it also gives you enough distance to react to any sudden changes (like the truck braking or debris falling), improving overall road safety.

Answer:

C. Stay well back, in a place where the truck driver can see you in their side mirrors.
