If you are driving behind a large vehicle that intends to turn right, what maneuver should you anticipate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that the vehicle might move to the left before turning. Large vehicles (trucks, buses) require a much wider turning radius than cars. To prevent their rear wheels from mounting the curb or hitting corner obstacles (off-tracking), the driver must 'swing wide' into the left lane before initiating the right turn. Option Analysis: Will stick to the right edge: Incorrect. If they did this, they wouldn't have the physical space to complete the turn without hitting the curb. Won't slow down: Incorrect. These maneuvers require significantly reduced speed for safety. Tip: Never attempt to overtake on the right or enter the gap they create when swinging out, as this is a blind spot and presents a severe crushing hazard.
