Commercial trucks are significantly very heavy, powerful and high-speed vehicles. In case of a crash with light vehicles, it commonly results in loss of lives and massive destruction.
Large trucks and commercial vehicles operate a bit differently than small vehicles. Trucks have comparatively larger blind spots, and longer maneuvering distances. This means that other vehicles have to take extra precautions while driving around commercial trucks. Here are a few safety tips that can help.
Class 8 trucks may be more vulnerable to accidents for several reasons: driver fatigue is responsible for 18% of accidents as drivers can spend long periods away from family and friends in the truck cabin, impairing mental health, and they are allowed to drive for up to 11 hours; 44% of accidents involve drivers under the influence of drugs or medication; and equipment defects or lack of maintenance can also lead to accidents. Educating drivers, monitoring them, and properly maintaining trucks may help reduce accident rates.

2. Common factors contributing to truck accidents are:
- Poor weather conditions,
- Defective equipments,
- Driver exhaustion,
- Inexperienced drivers,
- Intoxication,
- Road conditions,
- Reckless driving,
- Poor maintenance.
These accidents can be avoided if a handful of simple tips are
followed periodically. Let’s go through them without further ado.
3. Tip 1- Pay attention to the truck’s turn signals
Make sure that you observe the turn signal of a truck before
passing. A simple mistake in this case might result in a disastrous
one within the blink of an eye.
4. Tip 2: Avoid blind spots
Try to avoid the truck’s blind spots as much as possible by
maintaining your visibility on their rear-view mirrors.
5. Tip 3: DON’T cut in front of a truck suddenly
Trucks usually require a large distance to come to a rest.
They usually fail to stop in a jiffy. Thus, if you suddenly cut
in front of a truck, you raise your chances of a collision by
a level or two. Better avoid it completely.
6. Tip 4: Unsafe driving conditions MUST be reported
If you notice unsafe driving conditions related to the road or the
environment that might result in disastrous accidents, you should
report it to the authorities as soon as possible. Act today to
change tomorrow.
7. Tip 5: DON’T pass a truck in the direction of its turn
If a truck is taking a right turn, don’t pass the truck in the same
direction. The blind spot of the truck is the biggest issue in this case
that can result in an unnecessary accident at moment’s notice.
8. Tip 6: Maintain a safe distance
Lastly, we would provide you with a thumb rule. Trucks control in
a different way than that of cars. So it’s better to maintain as
much of a safe distance as possible.
