A large truck takes longer to stop than a compact car primarily due to its greater mass and momentum. The larger weight of the truck means it requires more force to bring it to a stop, which translates to a longer stopping distance. Additionally, trucks often have larger braking systems that may not be as responsive as those in smaller vehicles, further contributing to the extended stopping time. Lastly, factors such as tire size and road grip can also play a role in the difference in stopping distances.

When following a large truck, a driver should maintain a safe following distance to ensure adequate reaction time in case the truck suddenly stops or makes an unexpected maneuver.

List and explain two problems when sharing the roadway with large trucks?
Following a Truck � In general, trucks take slightly longer than cars to stop because of their size. However, at highway speeds or on wet roads, trucks may have better traction and stability allowing them to stop more quickly. A car following too closely may not be able to stop quickly enough to avoid rear-ending the truck. � If you are following a truck, stay out of its �blind spot� to the rear. Avoid following too closely and position your vehicle so the truck driver can see it in his side mirrors. Then you will have a good view of the road ahead, and the truck driver can give you plenty of warning for a stop or a turn. You will have more time to react and make a safe stop. � When you follow a truck at night, always dim your headlights. Bright lights from a vehicle behind will blind the truck driver when they reflect off the truck�s large side mirrors. � If you are stopped behind a truck on an upgrade, leave space in case the truck drifts back slightly when it starts to move. Also, keep to the left in your lane so the driver can see that you�re stopped behind the truck.
