What does it mean for a motorcyclist to ride in a 'no-zone' of a large truck?

By DMV Master Editorial Team Updated
A

Riding in a designated motorcycle-only zone

B

Riding in a blind spot area where the truck driver cannot see the motorcycle

Correct answer

C

Riding in a construction zone near a truck

D

Riding too close to the truck's exhaust

Detailed Explanation

A no-zone is a blind spot area around a large truck where the driver cannot see other vehicles. Motorcycles are especially hard to see in no-zones. Avoid riding in the no-zones — if you cannot see the truck driver\'s face in their mirror, they cannot see you.
