Space & Speed Management

After passing a vehicle, when is it safe to return to your lane?

  • A.As soon as your cab is ahead of the other vehicle
  • B.When the other driver flashes their lights
  • C.After counting to three
  • D.When you can see the front of the vehicle you passed in your mirrors
Correct answer

D. When you can see the front of the vehicle you passed in your mirrors

Why

Seeing the passed vehicle's front in your mirror confirms you have cleared it with room to spare. Cutting back earlier can force that driver to brake or clip your trailer.
