What should you do when approaching a large truck making a right turn?

When approaching a large truck making a right turn, staying behind and watching for signaling is the safest choice. Large trucks have significant blind spots and their turning radius can be much larger than that of a standard vehicle. By remaining behind the truck, you enable the driver to make the turn without the risk of collision, as they will usually signal their intent to turn. This approach also allows you to assess the situation more effectively, ensuring that the turn is completed safely before you decide how to proceed.

Other options might not account for the truck's dimensions and the potential hazards involved. Passing on the left side immediately could put you in a dangerous position if the truck swings wide during the turn, while accelerating to get ahead of the truck could lead to a risky maneuver if the truck proceeds to turn. Honking to alert the driver may not be effective given that large trucks often cannot hear vehicles due to their own engine noise, and it could confuse the situation further. Thus, maintaining a safe distance and observing the truck's signals is the best course of action.
