Trucks shall not be parked closer than which distances behind or in front and beside other trucks?

• A. 20 meters behind or in front; 2 meters beside
• B. 15 meters behind or in front; 5 meters beside
• C. 25 meters behind or in front; 3 meters beside
• D. 10 meters behind or in front; 1 meter beside

Answer: (A)

Safe spacing around parked trucks is what this item is testing. Large mining trucks need a generous buffer both in front and behind to accommodate their length and to allow safe starting, stopping, and backing without risking contact with another vehicle. A 20-meter gap in front and behind gives enough room for drivers to maneuver, for braking contingencies, and to maintain visibility around neighboring trucks. The side clearance of 2 meters ensures doors, steps, and walkways have room to operate and for someone to pass between trucks without brushing against mirrors or panels.

The other options offer too little space either in the front/back or on the sides, which raises the risk of collisions, makes door access difficult, and creates tight squeeze points that hinder safe movement. Therefore, the established spacing is 20 meters behind or in front and 2 meters beside.
