Which is NOT a recommended driver safety measure when sharing the road with a Semi Tractor/Trailer?

The safest place to drive is not directly behind a semi tractor/trailer because large trucks have significant blind spots that can obscure a driver's view of vehicles behind them, especially since the driver may not see a vehicle in this position. Additionally, following too closely can lead to dangerous situations where the driver of the car may not have enough time to react in case of sudden stops or emergencies.

Maintaining a safe following distance is crucial because it gives adequate space to react to changes in traffic or the actions of the truck. Staying visible to the driver ensures that the truck driver can see the vehicle, helping to avoid potential accidents. Passing on the left side of the truck is recommended as it is typically the safer way to overtake a large vehicle, given that most trucks have larger blind spots on their right side. Therefore, driving directly behind a semi does not align with these safety measures and poses a risk on the road.
