What are the 'No Zones' around trucks and buses?
- Blind spot areas where cars disappear or are so close they restrict the truck or bus driver's ability to stop or maneuver — Correct answer
- Areas where trucks and buses are not allowed to drive

What should you do when a truck or bus is preparing to back up or is backing up?

- Pass it quickly on the right side

- Honk your horn continuously to alert the driver
Explanation: Do not pass or stop close to a truck or bus that is backing up, because the trailer will obstruct objects in the No Zone.
