Where are the blind spots of large trucks?

In addition to the right side of a large truck, there are actually many blind spots, but the blind spot is no excuse. Truck drivers must pay attention when driving to avoid causing accidents. And when we ordinary pedestrians or drive private cars, we also try to stay away from large trucks. Next, let’s take a look at the blind spots of large trucks. 1. Where are the blind spots of large trucks?

Large trucks actually have many blind spots, not just on the right side. However, of all the blind spots on a truck, the one on the right does have the highest accident rate. The remaining blind spots are as follows:

1. Blind spot in front of the car. When reversing, the area to pass in front of the vehicle is much larger than the area passed by the vehicle itself. Therefore, when reversing, you should not only look at the rear of the vehicle, but also pay attention to the front and sides of the vehicle, especially those walking in front of the vehicle.

2. Blind spots on both sides of the vehicle. The owner cannot see the area near the sides of the vehicle. When the vehicle turns, there is wheel clearance between the front and rear wheels.

3. The area under the rear glass of a vehicle is a blind spot. When the vehicle is not equipped with assisted reversing equipment, these areas are completely invisible. Even with this type of device installed, some things beneath the monitored area remain invisible.

4. The area behind the right side of the vehicle itself is also one of the blind spots. This area is the furthest away from motorists and the hardest to see. Failure to pay attention when reversing can cause a collision. 2. Blind spots of large trucks

Traffic accidents are not accidental. Please remember to obey traffic rules and stay away from large trucks at any time. As you can see from the blind spot picture below, everyone is familiar with the three blind spots A, B, and D, but not many people may know about the blind spot C:

This is the part in front of the front of the big car. As long as you are not tall enough, even if you are right in front of the driver, he will not see you and will still hit you.

Several other blind spot truck accidents are often caused by large trucks driving at high speeds, such as speeding, running red lights, and not giving way to pedestrians on zebra crossings. During driving, pedestrians do not dare to get very close. From a long distance, as long as you appear in front of the car, the driver can easily observe you, and the possibility of pedestrians being swallowed up by this C blind spot is very small.

Only when a large car stops, or a pedestrian is very close to the front of the car, is it possible to be swallowed up by the C blind spot. However, if the large car is parked, no accident will occur. Even if a pedestrian appears in the blind spot, it will not be a big problem. Unless the large car suddenly starts to move at this time, a C blind spot accident may occur. 3. Why you should stay away from large trucks

1. The lights of large trucks. Large vehicles usually travel on highways or in places with less traffic and pedestrians, and most of them drive at night, so they will install headlights. It's really bright, and even the low beam will make it difficult to open your eyes. A large car driving from the opposite direction with its LED lights on will make your field of vision very poor.

2. Truck driver’s fatigue driving. Large trucks choose to drive at night due to road and various reasons. This causes factors such as driver fatigue and dangerous driving at night, and sometimes even dozing off while driving.

3. The truck is overloaded. Most people should know that trucks are overloaded because they want to make more money and save time. The result of overloading is that the braking distance is long and the truck is prone to overturning when turning.

4. Vision. The most dangerous thing is driving next to a large truck, because it is in the driver's blind spot. If they want to change lanes or turn, they may not be able to see you even if they look in the rearview mirror.

5. Things are easy to fall out of the car. I have personally seen a cart pulling a large rock fall off. Hundreds of kilograms of rock fell off the cart. If there is a car underneath that is alive and fast, and the car behind it fails to avoid it in time, someone may die.
