What are the no-zones around large trucks?

• B. Only behind the truck.
• C. The area directly in front of the truck.
• D. There are no no-zones around large trucks.

Answer: (C)

No-zones are the blind spots around large trucks where the driver cannot see you. Trucks are tall and long, so their mirrors and field of view can’t cover every angle. These blind spots wrap around the vehicle: in front of the truck, directly behind it, and on both sides. If you linger in any of these zones, the driver may not know you’re there, increasing the chance of a collision when the truck accelerates, brakes, or changes lanes. The area directly in front of the truck is included in these blind spots, so staying close in front can be especially risky. The safest approach is to stay well clear of these zones, pass promptly, and avoid lingering beside or directly behind a truck.
