Explanation
When driving between oncoming traffic and parked vehicles, it’s safest to keep equal space on both sides by steering a middle course. This gives you room to react to sudden situations, such as a car door opening from the parked vehicles or an oncoming vehicle drifting slightly toward your lane. However, if one side is clearly more dangerous, like when a large truck is approaching, it’s best to allow extra space on that side.
