Truck drivers may have difficulty seeing up to how many feet in front of the cab?

10 feet
15 feet
20 feet
25 feet

The correct answer is: 20 feet

Truck drivers may have difficulty seeing up to 20 feet in front of the cab due to the large size of the vehicle and its design, which typically includes a long hood and extended frame. This structural setup creates extensive blind spots, particularly in the front area directly in front of the truck. The inability to see objects or pedestrians within this range can pose significant safety risks. This distance also accounts for the height at which the driver sits in the cab compared to the ground, which impacts their line of sight. Therefore, understanding the limitations of visibility is crucial for truck drivers to ensure safe operation and to be aware of their surroundings while driving. While the other distances presented are less than 20 feet, they do not accurately represent the operational challenges truck drivers face. The 20-foot distance captures the reality of the situation, making it vital for training and awareness programs.
