Unlike passenger cars, trucks have blind spots:
|
Directly behind them.
|
|

On the front.
|
|
|
On the right.
|
|
|
Reserved for blind people.

Explanation
The larger the vehicle, the larger the blind spots. Drivers of vehicles with a blocked rear view, such as trucks, vans, buses or vehicles pulling trailers, may not be able to see your vehicle when you are directly behind them. If you find yourself behind a truck, van or bus, increase your following distance in order to be visible to the other driver.
