1. How to Drive Safely Around
Trucks

2. INTRODUCTION
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.

3. Trucks Have Larger Blind
Spots
Always be on your toes while driving around the front, back, and side of
these giants as those are their "blind spots."
When driving around these areas, either slow down or move ahead
ASAP to avoid any mishappening.

4. Do NOT Drive Too Close To
These Giants
It is really dangerous to cut too close to these trucks.
You may accidentally get into their blind zones, thus, inviting trouble.
Even if you're visible to the driver, the truck may not be able to slow
down quick enough to avoid a wreck.
So AVOID!

5. Trucks Need More Room To
Take Turns
Never try to squeeze in your vehicle while a commercial truck is taking
turns because they need more space in comparison to your vehicle.
Whenever you are at an intersection, keep sufficient space for these
larger vehicles to take smooth and safe turns.

6. Buckle Up
Always wear your seatbelt; it's one of the most important things that
you can do in order to save your lives.
A seatbelt doesn't only help you keep you in place while driving but also
help you maintain control over your vehicle.

7. Larger stopping distance for
trucks
Trucks are heavier than conventional vehicles. They need more space
and time to decelarate down to rest in comparison to cars.
So, always try to keep a safe distance when a truck follows
behind since it may easily result in a mishap.
