5. Car drivers should know that large trucks:

Have large blind spots.

Can stop more quickly than passenger vehicles.

Do not need more room to maneuver than passenger vehicles.

All of the above.

A large truck has large blind spots to the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle. Avoid lingering in these areas. Because of their larger size and weight, trucks require more room to maneuver and stop than passenger vehicles.

6. A good rule to remember for passing is:

Pass on the right whenever possible.

Drive with the flow of traffic and pass only as needed.

Try to get to the front of any slow-moving traffic so that you can see better.

Always flash your lights and sound your horn to alert other drivers to your intentions.

Each time you pass another vehicle, there is an increased chance for a collision. If you are moving faster than surrounding traffic, you will have to continue passing others. Drive with the flow of traffic, within the legal speed limit, and pass only as needed.
