Explanation
Larger vehicles, such as trucks, have a longer turning radius than smaller vehicles. As a result, when a truck needs to make a right turn, the driver may need to swing to the left before turning right to create a wider turn and avoid hitting any obstacles or curbs. This is a common maneuver that truck drivers use to make safe turns, but it can also create a hazard for drivers who may be in the truck's blind spot or attempting to pass. Therefore, it is important to stay back and be cautious when driving near large trucks, especially when they are turning.
