2. By taking these seemingly simple – yet highly effective – preventative measures, you can drastically reduce your chances of being involved in a collision. STAY OUT OF THEIR BLIND SPOTS • The visibility of most large truck drivers is severely limited on either side of the truck. Because of this, do your best to stay away from their direct front, back, and along each side of the truck – especially the trucker’s right side. DO NOT HESITATE IF YOU INTEND TO PASS • Once you make the decision to pass a large truck, do it quickly, and always on the left side of the truck. Always pass on the truck’s left side. Even if you’re using cruise control, do not try to keep pace with the truck; pass it quickly. DON’T CUT TOO CLOSELY IN FRONT OF THE LARGE TRUCK • Due to the height and steepness of the truck cab, the trucker may not be able to see you. Also, the driver needs more time and distance than you in order to stop. Keep your distance when following from behind. • It’s best to maintain a safe distance between yourself and all other driver. When driving behind a large truck, it’s recommended to maintain a four (4) second distance.
