Explanation
Trucks have limited maneuverability due to their size, weight, and longer stopping distance. When you want to pass a large truck, do so quickly on the left side, and after you pass the truck, move ahead of it. Passing on the left side allows the truck driver to see you clearly and react if necessary. Passing quickly is also essential. If you linger, you make it difficult for the trucker to take evasive action if needed.
