Explanation
Large trucks and buses have much larger blind spots than smaller vehicles, making it harder for their drivers to see nearby traffic-especially when changing lanes. These blind spots exist directly in front, behind, and along both sides of the vehicle. To stay safe, avoid lingering in these areas and always maintain a safe following distance. A good rule to remember: “If you can’t see the driver in the truck’s side mirror, the driver can’t see you.”
