Explanation:

Identify the core safety rule for following large trucks

The question asks about the safe following distance behind a large truck. A standard rule of thumb in driver education is that you should maintain enough distance behind a truck so that you can see both of its outside side-view mirrors. If you cannot see the truck's side mirrors, the truck driver cannot see your vehicle, placing you in their rear blind spot (the "No-Zone").

Evaluate the given multiple-choice options

• Both of the truck's outside mirrors: This aligns directly with the standard safety rule. If you can see both side mirrors, you are outside the immediate rear blind spot, and the truck driver can see you.
• The truck's tires on the pavement: While seeing tires is a rule for stopping behind vehicles at intersections, it is not the primary rule for safe following distance on the highway to avoid blind spots.
• The truck's driver: You generally cannot see the driver directly from directly behind a large box truck.
• The truck's signals: While important, being able to see signals does not guarantee you are out of the blind spot.

Answer:

• (A) Both of the truck's outside mirrors (Correct answer)
• (B) The truck's tires on the pavement
• (C) The truck's driver
• (D) The truck's signals
