Stay out of the heavy vehicle blind spots
The blind spot diagram, in yellow shade, shows the blind spots are located:
- immediately in front of the truck
- beside the truck driver’s door
- on the passenger side which runs the length of the truck and extends out three lanes
- directly behind the truck.
Remember: if you cannot see the truck driver’s mirror, the truck driver cannot see you.
Watch this video, it highlights restrictions regarding blind spots plus offers best advice.
