When should you return to your lane after passing a semi-truck?

• A. When you can see the truck's headlights in your review mirror
• B. When you can see the truck's taillights in your review mirror
• C. Immediately after you pass the truck
• D. Before you start passing the truck

Answer: (A)

After you’ve finished passing a semi-truck, you should return to your lane when you can see the truck’s headlights in your rearview mirror. This means the truck is far enough behind you and outside your blind spots, giving you a clear, safe margin to merge back without cutting them off. If you wait until you see taillights, the truck could still be close in your blind spot, making a merge risky. So the headlights in the rearview mirror are the reliable cue that you’ve gained a safe amount of space.
