Explanation
In the majority of all fatal crashes that involve cars and big trucks, the car driver, not the truck driver, contributes to the cause of the traffic crash. Large vehicles have deep blind spots behind them, and they also have larger blind spots on both sides. When sharing the road with trucks or other large vehicles, always allow extra space for large vehicles.
