Questions Learners Have About Long Vehicle Safety

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Long Vehicle Safety, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the main blind spots on a large truck?

On a large truck, significant blind spots exist directly in front, along both sides (especially the right side), and immediately behind the vehicle. If you cannot see the truck driver in their mirrors, it's highly likely they cannot see you.

Why do I need more following distance behind a truck than a car?

You need more following distance behind a truck because trucks have longer braking distances due to their weight and momentum. Also, maintaining distance allows you to see the road ahead and gives the truck driver a better chance to see you in their mirrors.

How should I react if a truck signals a wide turn?

When a truck signals a wide turn, always give them ample space. They often need to swing out in the opposite direction before turning. Never try to squeeze alongside them or pass on the side they are turning towards, as you could be caught in their blind spot or swept into their path.

What is the danger of stopping too close behind a truck on an incline?

Stopping too close behind a truck on an incline is dangerous because the truck might roll back slightly when starting. Maintain extra distance to prevent a collision and give the driver sufficient space to maneuver.

How does the 'two-second rule' apply to following long vehicles?

The 'two-second rule' is a minimum guideline for following distance in good conditions. When following large vehicles, especially trucks and buses, it's safer to increase this to three or even four seconds, particularly in poor weather or road conditions, to account for their longer stopping distances.
