2. Vehicles are required to be covered by liability insurance:

This protects consumers when they are involved in an accident.

4. To enter a gap in highway traffic:

Explanation
When a vehicle makes a turn, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle, the bigger the difference between the paths of the front and rear wheels. Therefore, long trucks often have to swing wide to complete a right turn.

8. You drive defensively when you:
