Avoid the "NO ZONE"; a trucker's blind spot
Ans- In one year, over 4,000 people are killed in crashes with large trucks.
Trucks have larger blind spots than cars because they're four times longer. If
you can't see a truck's mirrors (specifically: the driver's face) from where you
are, odds are the driver can't see you. They need more stopping space. Because
of their weight and size, trucks take much longer to stop than cars and even
SUVs. Do not proceed until it has completed the turn. Trucks and commercial
vehicles make very wide turns
