Final answer:
Trucks make wide turns and need to leave extra space, often to the right, before turning to accommodate their larger size.
Step-by-step explanation:
Trucks make wide turns and sometimes must leave an extra space to the right before the turn. This maneuver is necessary because trucks, due to their large size, need more room to navigate turns. For instance, when preparing to turn right at an intersection, a truck may swing out to the left side or move slightly forward to create the extra space needed to complete the turn safely.
This is similar to a concept found in VCE traffic and transport studies, where vehicle dynamics during turns are studied. For example, Figure 4.27 illustrates a car and a truck approaching an intersection, likely having to adjust their paths based on their vehicle type. Also, in auto racing, as shown in Figure 6.32, drivers will take the inside path around a curve to maintain the highest speed, known as 'cutting the corner.' However, larger vehicles like trucks don't have this option on tight corners in everyday driving and thus, must take wider turns to accommodate their larger turning radius.
