What does the term "no zones" refer to with trucks?

• A. A zone where the truck's exhaust affects visibility
• B. Areas around trucks where the driver has limited visibility; avoid lingering in those zones.
• C. Zones where trucks are not allowed to travel
• D. Safe areas for a car to stay while the truck passes

Answer: (B)

No zones are the blind spots around a large truck where the driver has limited visibility. Being in these areas is risky because the driver may not see you when the truck is changing lanes, braking, or turning. The main no zones are directly in front of the cab, directly behind the trailer, and along the sides near the cab where the truck’s mirrors can’t show you. The safest approach is to avoid lingering in those spaces, give the truck plenty of room, and pass quickly and on the left when it’s safe. If you can’t see the truck driver’s mirrors, the driver likely can’t see you either. This isn’t about exhaust, road rules, or designated safe areas for a car; it’s about staying out of the truck’s limited field of view to prevent collisions.
