When around large trucks, what should you avoid doing?

When around large trucks, pulling in front of them should be avoided due to the significant difference in stopping distances between large trucks and passenger vehicles. Trucks are much heavier and take longer to come to a complete stop compared to smaller vehicles. If a driver pulls in front of a truck too closely, there may not be enough distance for the truck to stop safely, creating a hazardous situation.

Maintaining a safe following distance when behind a truck is crucial, as is being cautious when riding beside them due to their blind spots. Driving under a truck is not a relevant concern, but the main issue with pulling in front highlights the need for awareness of the unique dynamics of large vehicle operation on the road.
