How to use this sim

Watch the app drive the maneuver the correct way — with the right order and timing. Follow the narration and the checklist as each step is done for you. Hit Restart to watch it again anytime.

💡 Pro tip

If you can't see the truck driver's face in their side mirror, they cannot see you — at all. Stay out of the deep rear zone, pass briskly on the left, and don't move back over until the whole cab appears in your rearview mirror.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Cruising alongside a trailer — you can sit in a blind spot for miles without the driver ever knowing.
  • Passing on the right, where a truck's blind spot is widest and lane changes come without warning.
  • Cutting back in early: trucks need football fields to stop, and you just erased their cushion.
