Both on the immediate left of the cab and directly behind the body.

A truck's blind spots are much larger than a smaller car’s blind spots. The driver cannot see your car behind their vehicle and you can't see what’s happening in traffic ahead if you're driving too closely behind the truck. Whether you are driving behind or to the side of the truck, if you can’t see the driver’s face in their side view mirror, then they can’t see you.

3. The faster the speed of your vehicle, the longer it takes to stop when you must react to other drivers' unexpected movements.

6. You enter a designated turn lane to make a left turn at an upcoming intersection. There is oncoming traffic. You should:

Move to the left of the center lane.

Signal before you arrive at the intersection.

Turn your front wheels to the left to be prepared to turn.

When making a left turn, you should always begin signaling about 100 feet before the turn. You should keep your front wheels aiming straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. This ensures that you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic if another vehicle hits you from behind.

Be ready to merge with traffic entering your lane.

Always stop.

Divided highway ahead.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns that merging traffic will be entering from the right, so drivers should prepare to allow the incoming traffic to safely merge.
