5 Tips for Safely Operating Your Vehicle Near a Commercial Truck
01. Be Aware of Blind Spots
2. Leave Room When Passing or Merging It’s important to leave a room when passing or merging in front of a commercial truck. These trucks weigh thousands of pounds, which means they cannot stop on a dime like a sedan. If you pass a truck or merge onto a highway in front of a truck without leaving enough room, you could wind up being slammed into from behind by the truck. You should leave as much room as possible between your vehicle and the truck when changing lanes or merging. If you cannot do so, be sure to stay put until the truck is out of the way.
03. Never Tailgate a Commercial Truck
04. Anticipate a Wide Turn
