Here are some tips for sharing the road with trucks:
· Don't cut off other vehicles-trucks and buses take longer to stop compared to cars.
· Buckle up-again, trucks and buses take longer to stop, and you're safer buckled in during a rear-end collision.
· Stay out of a truck's blind spots-if you can't see the truck's mirrors, the driver cannot see you.
· Stay alert-avoid distracted driving.
· Avoid frequent lane changes and aggressive driving.
· Watch truck signals, and stay out of their turn areas-trucks have to swing wide to turn.
