Why do large trucks swing wide when turning right?
- A.Their long wheelbase means the rear wheels follow a tighter path
- B.They are trying to block other drivers
- C.They are not allowed to use mirrors when turning
- D.They always turn from the left lane on purpose
Correct answer
A. Their long wheelbase means the rear wheels follow a tighter path
Why
A truck's rear wheels track inside its front wheels, so the driver may swing wide to complete a turn. Never squeeze between a turning truck and the curb.
