Sharing the Road
Large Vehicles
You can share the road with large trucks, tractor trailers and busses safely if you keep a few things in mind.
- Don't follow them to closely, (IF YOU CAN NOT SEE THEIR MIRRORS, THEY CAN NOT SEE YOU)
- They take longer to stop. Increase your following distance to avoid rear ending them.
- They take longer to pass.
- Give the approaching truck plenty of room to pass you to avoid sideswipe and air turbulence.
- Pay attention to their turn signals, as they make much wider turns than automobiles.
- Trucks have to back up to loading docks and block the roadway. Take a second, relax and let them finish this tricky maneuver. Don't go behind them.
- Leave extra space when stopped on a hill behind a truck. They may roll back slightly when starting.
Is anything more devastating than being involved in a fatal accident that involved a child.. I hope you never have to live the horror, let alone see it.
Regardless of the of the rules of the road or right-of-way, the law specifically requires you to exercise great care to avoid striking pedestrians.
