Why should a driver avoid staying close beside or behind a heavy truck?
A car follows a tractor-trailer on a road with two lanes in the same direction.
Correct answer: The truck driver may not see the vehicle in a large blind spot.
Why
Large trucks have blind spots at the front, rear and sides. Their extent depends on the vehicle and its equipment. Avoid lingering in those areas and leave enough distance to see and respond. Never assume that the truck driver has seen you merely because you can see a mirror.
