You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you

Question

You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Answers

A. Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

B. Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

C. No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.

Explanation

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.
