Large trucks do not operate like cars. They are so large that accelerating, slowing down, and stopping takes more time and much more space than any other other
vehicle on the road. They have large blind sopts and make wide turns. They are not as maneuverable. If they come upon an unexpected traffic situation, they may not be enough room for them to avoid a collision. Research reveals that passenger car drivers made mistakes in 70 percent of the fatal crashes involving large trucks. While everyone is entitled to make a mistake, colliding with a truck could be your last one. The information that follows will help you anticipate a truck’s actions and avoid collisions with them.
