Truck Safety - Theory Review

If an oncoming driver crosses into your path of travel, the space that is usually available for you to move your vehicle is

• directly in front of you.

• to the right of your vehicle.

• to the rear of your vehicle.

• to the left of your vehicle.

When following another vehicle, you should look

• at your rearview mirrors exclusively.

• through, over, and around that vehicle.

• at the rear of the vehicle ahead.

• at the vehicle's brake lights.

When following a large truck, you should increase your following distance because

• you have enough clear sight distance.

• the truck needs greater stopping distance than vehicles.

• you need more clear sight distance.

• the truck is in your blind spot.

When you plan to overtake and pass a motorcycle, you should

• flash your headlights.

• weave in your lane to alert the motorcyclist.

• closely follow the motorcycle.

• maintain proper following distance until you start the pass.

Most states require that when a school bus is stopped to load or unload passengers on a two-way street, others

• in both directions must stop.

• should slow and prepare to stop.

• in the oncoming lane must stop.

• in the same lane must stop.

A motorcyclist might have more difficulty stopping than a vehicle driver because

• vehicles can stop in a shorter distance.

• motorcycles generally stop straight.

• vehicles generally stop in a straight line.

• motorcycles must come to a gradual stop by simultaneously applying the hand and foot brakes.

When passing a large truck, return to the right lane when you can see

• the front of the truck in the rearview mirror.

• the truck in the left outside mirror.

• the lane ahead is clear.

• the truck in the right outside mirror.
