What should you do when following a large truck?

  1. Increase the gap between the vehicle

  2. Stay behind the truck

  3. Drive close to the truck

  4. Flash your headlights

The correct answer is: Increase the gap between the vehicle

When following a large truck, it is important to increase the gap between your vehicle and the truck. This is because trucks have large blind spots and require more distance to stop. If you stay behind the truck or drive too close to it, you may not have enough time to react if the truck suddenly brakes. Flashing your headlights is also not recommended as it could startle the driver and cause them to make a sudden movement. Additionally, it is important to remember to never cut off a truck as they need more space and time to maneuver. Increasing the gap between your vehicle and the truck is the safest option when following a large truck on the road.
