Trucks have very large blind spots. If you cannot look in the mirror and see the driver's face, he cannot see you.
The "No-zone"
trucks are not as maneuverable as passenger vehicles
Large trucks are typically about 2 to 3 times longer than passenger cars, depending on the specific models. While standard passenger cars average around 14 to 16 feet in length, large trucks, such as semi-trucks, can measure between 40 and 70 feet when including the trailer. This significant difference in length impacts maneuverability and road space usage.
Suicide. If you can't see the driver, they can't see you.
Large trucks can be up to 20 to 30 times larger than passenger cars in terms of weight, size, and cargo capacity. This significant difference is due to the design and purpose of large trucks, which are built for transporting goods over long distances. Additionally, the height and width of large trucks can also be substantially greater, contributing to their overall size difference compared to passenger vehicles.
Longer stopping distances. A passenger car may weigh 3,000 pounds. A large truck may weigh 90,000 pounds. It is much harder to stop.
The blind spots of large vehicles, such as semi trucks, are commonly referred to as "no zones." These areas are located directly in front, directly behind, and on both sides of the truck, where the driver has limited visibility. It's crucial for other drivers to be aware of these no zones to maintain safe distances and avoid accidents.
"Large" is a very indefinite word. A larger truck than a car could be a 2 ton flatbed or a 40 ton semi.
You should always stay a safe distance behind large trucks. They have a lot of blind spots and are unable to see smaller cars and trucks. You should also stay back because you never know what is going to fall out of the back or if the truck is going to kick up a rock and hit your car or windshield.
There are many types of trucks that are considered large. Monster trucks are some of the biggest trucks there are.
It's rather simple... don't hang around in them if you don't want to risk getting clobbered. These vehicles often weigh ten times or more than what your vehicle would weigh when it was fully loaded to capacity.. tangle with one of them, and you will not come out ahead.
