Large trucks and commercial vehicles require special consideration from other drivers.

No-Zones:

  • No-Zones are large blind spots around trucks where a car may disappear from the truck driver’s view.

  • Avoid driving directly alongside a truck for long periods and do not tailgate a truck.

  • If you cannot see the truck driver’s face in their side mirror, they likely cannot see you.

Following Distance and Passing:

  • Trucks require more distance to stop due to their weight.

  • Allow extra space when following trucks.

  • When passing a truck, pass quickly and safely. Do not linger in the No-Zone.

Always remember that trucks make wide turns and may need additional room at intersections.
