Practice question

Drivers must avoid driving in no-zones, such as:

  1. 10 feet behind the truck and on either side within 10 feet
  2. 20 feet in front of the cab, either side of the tractor-trailer, and up to 200 feet in the rear
  3. 30 feet behind any commercial vehicle
  4. 40 feet in front of any vehicle over 10 feet tall

Answer: A — 10 feet behind the truck and on either side within 10 feet

Drivers must avoid driving in no-zones, such as 10 feet behind the truck and on either side within 10 feet. This is because being in such close proximity to a large vehicle, like a truck, restricts the truck driver's visibility. This close range can lead to dangerous situations where the truck driver may not be able to see the vehicle behind or beside them, increasing the risk of accidents. By avoiding driving in these no-zones, motorists can help ensure their own safety as well as the safety of others on the road. Option B is incorrect because it mentions distances that are generally not considered no-zones when driving near a truck. Option C and Option D also provide distances that are not commonly recognized as no-zones, making them incorrect answers for this question.
