Explanation
When following a truck, it's important to stay out of its blind spot to the rear. This means positioning your car in a way that allows the truck driver to see you in their side mirrors. By doing so, you increase your visibility and reduce the risk of being in the truck's blind spot. Additionally, maintaining a safe following distance gives you enough time and space to react to any sudden maneuvers or stops by the truck.
