6. To avoid being in a truck or bus driver’s blind spot, you should:

Never pass them.

Avoid driving alongside them and avoid tailgating.

Flash your lights at them.

Sound your horn.

Because a large vehicle, such as a truck or bus, has large blind spots to its sides and rear, avoid driving alongside such a vehicle and do not tailgate one.

Maintain the posted speed to make it through the water.

Avoid the puddle if possible.

Shift into neutral as you drive through the water.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, avoid especially slippery areas, such as ice patches, wet leaves, oil, or deep puddles. The safest surface for driving is a dry, solid surface.

You may stop to drop off passengers.

You may stop to look up an address.

You may make a U-turn or back up if you get on the wrong entrance ramp of the freeway.

You should not stop in a travel lane for any reason. Instead, keep moving until you can safely pull off of the road. If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up. Go to the next turn or exit or where you can safely turn around.
