Accelerating to pass a turning truck may not be a polite maneuver. Slowing down before turns reduces skidding risks. Defensive driving includes avoiding tight spaces near turning commercial vehicles.
Polite maneuver: a car accelerating at 4 m/s² to pass a truck moving at 55 mph as it turns is not considered extremely polite if it forces the truck to slow down to avoid an accident.
Driving safety tip: It's crucial to slow down before a turn rather than during it to reduce the risk of skidding and maintain control of the vehicle.
Defensive driving: Avoid the 'squeeze play' situation by maintaining a safe distance from commercial vehicles making turns to steer clear of potential accidents.
