Question: If your view ahead is blocked by a large vehicle, you should:
Answer options:
- Tailgate ✅ Increase your following distance
- Pass immediately
- Use high beams
Correct answer: Increase your following distance
Explanation: Increasing your following distance is correct because it expands your field of vision around a large vehicle and gives you more time to react to hazards, while ensuring the other driver can see you in their side mirrors. Tailgating is dangerous because it completely blocks your view and reduces stopping time. Passing immediately without a clear view of oncoming traffic risks a collision, and high beams will blind the lead driver. Under the Alberta Driver's Guide, maintaining a generous space cushion behind large vehicles is a fundamental safety rule. This concept is highly relevant for Class 7 exam questions focusing on defensive driving and sharing the road safely.
