Truck no zone — Nebraska Permit Test

No-Zones are areas around trucks or buses where cars disappear into blind spots or are so close they limit the driver's ability to stop or maneuver.

A driver who sits where the trucker cannot see him gets hit when the truck changes lanes.

No-Zones are areas around trucks or buses where cars: 1) “disappear” into blind spots, or 2) are so close that they restrict the truck or bus driver’s ability to stop or maneuver safely.

Never pass close behind a truck or bus that is preparing to back up or is backing up; it may have to block the street to maneuver.

A backing trucker cannot see a small car behind the trailer and will back right into it.

Never pass close behind a truck or bus that is preparing to back up or is in the process of backing up.

After passing a truck or bus, do not pull in front of it until you can see its entire front in your rearview mirror.

Cut in too soon and then slow down, and the truck cannot stop before it hits you.

Don’t pull in front of the truck or bus unless the entire front of the truck or bus can be seen in the rear view mirror.

Trucks and buses have deep blind spots directly behind them, so do not tailgate; if you can see the truck's mirrors, its driver can see you.

Tucked in close behind a trailer, you are hidden from the driver and blind to what is ahead of him.

Being able to see the rearview mirrors of the truck or bus allows the driver of the larger vehicle to see vehicles behind or beside them.

Trucks and buses have much larger blind spots on both sides than cars do, so do not travel beside them for long.

A car riding in a truck's side blind spot is the one it moves over onto when changing lanes.

Do not travel beside trucks or buses for great lengths of time.

Truck and bus drivers sometimes swing wide to turn and cannot see cars behind or beside them, so give them plenty of room and never squeeze around them.

A car that slips into the gap on the inside of a turn gets crushed as the trailer swings back.

Give them plenty of room and never try to squeeze around them.

After passing a truck, when may you pull back in front of it?
