Compared with a car, how much time and room does a truck or bus driver need to stop?
The rule
Truck and bus drivers need almost twice the time and room to stop that cars need, so don't cut in front of them.
Truck and bus drivers need almost twice the stopping time and room that cars need. Don't cut in front of one and then slow down.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 7, page 38. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
