What is a commercial truck's 'No-Zone' and why is it dangerous for passenger vehicles?
The answer
Answer: B. No-Zones are large blind spots around the front, back, and sides of commercial trucks and buses where the driver cannot see passenger vehicles in their mirrors. Driving in these no-zones severely increases the risk of a side-swipe or rear-end collision if the commercial driver changes lanes or brakes.

Why must passenger car drivers avoid the 'squeeze play' when a large truck is making a right turn?
The answer
Answer: B. Because large trucks and buses require wide turning radiuses, drivers must often swing wide to the left before making a right turn. If a motorist attempts to pass on the right when the truck's right turn signal is blinking, they become trapped in the truck's blind spot and risk being crushed.
