Trucks and buses are much longer than cars, so they make wide turns. Cars should wait and let them finish turning instead of trying to pass by. | Cars should watch out for blind spots, the areas behind, in front and along the sides of large trucks and buses where they can’t see other cars. Drivers should pass through them to be seen and stay safe. Stay out of these “no zones”! | Trucks are really heavy, especially when they’re fully loaded with important goods, so they need extra time to slow down or stop. |
