California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

When following a truck, it is important to allow plenty of space because trucks need a lot of room to maneuver. Trucks are much larger than other vehicles on the road and require more space to make turns or switch lanes. Staying too close to a truck can be dangerous, as it may not be able to see you in its blind spots and sudden maneuvers can be difficult in such a large vehicle. Staying on the right or left side is not recommended as it can block the truck's driver from seeing you and may cause confusion. Staying at a safe distance allows both vehicles to have enough space to safely navigate the road.
