When driving on the road next to a truck, and especially a long one, you need to be very careful and take into account a number of maneuvering factors.
Instructions
Step 1
If, while driving in a passenger car, you find yourself at the right front wheel of a truck, take into account that the truck driver does not see you at all. Therefore, the maneuver to the right of the truck does not always end with success.
Step 2
If you suddenly jump out into the lane on which the truck is driving, before a red traffic light, then you risk being run over by the truck. The truck driver is often unprepared for such sudden obstacles. Do not forget that very often trucks are overloaded. Also, do not forget about the braking system of trucks, especially those made in China (according to statistics, they have a very high rate of accidents due to brake system failure).
Step 3
Be extremely careful when cornering. If, when turning, the driver of the truck with the trailer starts the maneuver from the second row, keep in mind that his trailer will be turning in the first row.
Step 4
When you are driving behind a truck, remember: if you cannot see the driver in the side-view mirror, then it is equivalent that he also does not see you.
Step 5
If you are driving from a hill, or on a slippery road in winter, and a truck is trying to get out of the adjacent road, it is better to give it way. Remember, if it comes to a complete stop, the car will most likely get stuck, resulting in a big jam. Be aware that there is no studded rubber on a truck yet.
