Question:6

In your opinion, is the truck positioned correctly within the curve?

When driving on a sharp curve, it is required to stay in it as shortly as possible; hence his position is correct.

In sharp curves it is necessary to “cut” through the curve, in order to reduce the centrifugal force (the force that acts on the vehicle while it turns).

When there is no other vehicle in the curve it is possible to be positioned anywhere within it.

No, the truck driver is not keeping to the right of the road and his position presents a risk to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

Question:13

What effect does keeping distance have on the driver’s field of vision?

Keeping distance has no connection to the driver’s field of vision.

Keeping distance affects the driver’s field of vision while driving in high speeds and during stormy weather conditions only.
