Four feet

Question 2

A large truck is turning right at an intersection ahead of you. What should you expect?

Accepted Answer

The truck may swing wide to the left before turning right

Answer

Large trucks often swing left before making a right turn, so never squeeze into the gap on their right side.

Question 3

You are driving behind a motorcycle. What following distance should you maintain?

Accepted Answer

At least four seconds

Answer

Motorcycles can stop quickly and are easily hidden from view, so an increased following distance of at least four seconds is recommended.

Question 4

If you cannot see a truck driver's face in the truck's side mirror, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

The truck driver cannot see you

Answer

If you can't see the driver in the truck's mirror, you are in a blind spot and the driver cannot see your vehicle.

Question 5

A pedestrian is crossing at an intersection without a marked crosswalk. What should you do?

Yield, because an unmarked crosswalk still exists at intersections

Answer

Unmarked crosswalks legally exist at most intersections, and drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing there.
