Explanation
Larger vehicles have larger blind spots, known as the 'No-Zone,' where truck drivers cannot see nearby vehicles. These blind spots make it dangerous for cars to linger beside or behind trucks. To stay safe, avoid remaining in a truck’s blind spots longer than necessary. A good rule is to check the truck’s side mirror-if you can’t see the driver’s reflection, they can’t see you. Always pass trucks cautiously and minimize time in their 'No-Zone.'
