Explanation
To avoid being in a truck driver’s blind spot, you should avoid tailgating and drive away from the long blind spots on the sides of trucks. These areas, often referred to as the “No-Zone”, are larger than those of regular vehicles. Staying out of these blind spots is very important for your safety because if you linger there, the truck driver might not see you.
