Practice question

Why does overtaking a long truck-trailer combination demand much more road than overtaking a car?

  1. Because you are exposed on the wrong side of the road for the full length of the combination plus your own vehicle and a safety margin
  2. Because trucks are required to speed up whenever overtaken
  3. Because the truck's mirrors automatically record overtaking vehicles
  4. Because oncoming traffic must legally stop for you

Answer: A — Because you are exposed on the wrong side of the road for the full length of the combination plus your own vehicle and a safety margin
