Explanation
When a truck is passing you, help the truck driver by moving to the far side of your lane. This gives the truck more space to pass safely. It’s also recommended to slightly reduce your speed at first, then maintain a steady pace. Never increase your speed while a truck is passing - doing so makes it harder and more dangerous for the truck to complete the maneuver.
