When stopping behind another vehicle always stop where you can see their back tires touching the pavement

7. RIGHT OF WAY
Privilege of having immediate use of a certain part of the roadway
REMEMBER……
Your action shouldn’t cause others to yield, stop, change path of direction, or slow
Signs do not stop traffic for you
Don’t Assume
Many times it is better to yield anyway
