What is the recommended following distance behind a large transport truck under normal driving conditions?
Answer: 4 to 6 seconds
Because large trucks block your forward view and require greater stopping distance, a following distance of 4 to 6 seconds is recommended.
When sharing the road with a motorcycle, why is it dangerous to share the same lane as the motorcyclist?
Answer: Motorcycles are entitled to the full lane width and need it to maneuver safely
A motorcyclist is legally entitled to the full width of a lane; crowding them removes their ability to swerve or maneuver to avoid hazards.
What does Ontario's 'Move Over' law require when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with lights flashing on a multi-lane road?

When a large truck is merging onto a highway from an on-ramp, what should you do if you are in the right lane?
Answer: If safe, move to the left lane or adjust speed to allow the truck to merge
