Let's imagine a situation: while driving a car, you caught up with a slowly moving truck.
In this case, an inexperienced driver may have the desire to “squeeze” close to a huge vehicle and start waiting until conditions for overtaking appear.
This is a gross mistake! It must not be repeated!
How to Overtake a Truck Correctly
The rule is as follows: before overtaking a truck, you must not “squeeze” too close.
It is desirable that the distance between two vehicles be 2-3 car lengths.
There are three reasons for the need to comply with this recommendation.
First, you need to keep your distance.
Second: a large distance between vehicles will improve visibility for the driver of a passenger car.
Third: following the rule will give the driver the opportunity to accelerate in advance. The action will begin on the first lane. The time spent on the oncoming lane will be minimal. Overtaking will be as safe as possible.
