Truck Blind Spots & Air Turbulence: A Safety Guide for Motorcyclists & Drivers

Staying safe around big trucks isn’t just about driving carefully — it’s about knowing where the danger zones are! Let’s break it down:

? Truck Blind Spots (No-Zones):
These are areas where truck drivers can’t see you:

? Front Blind Spot: Directly in front of the truck.

? Side Blind Spots: Especially large on both sides, more so on the right.

? Rear Blind Spot: Right behind the truck — don’t follow too closely!

? Safety Tip:
? Stay visible! If you can’t see the truck’s mirrors, the driver can’t see you.

? Air Turbulence Behind Trucks:
When trucks move, they create strong air currents:

? Can pull motorcycles or small cars toward the truck or push them away.

? Especially risky when overtaking or riding in the truck’s wake zone.

? Safety Tip:

? Always keep a safe distance from trucks — don’t linger next to or behind them.

? Final Road Safety Reminders:
?? Avoid truck blind spots.
?? Maintain a safe following distance.
?? Overtake quickly and safely — don’t hang beside a truck.
?? Be ready for air turbulence, especially on a motorcycle.
? Stay smart, stay safe on the road!
