Where Are the Blind Spots of a Large Truck?
1 Answers
Large trucks have blind spots primarily due to two reasons. First, their massive size, and second, unlike passenger cars, the front and rear wheels of large trucks do not follow the same path. This is a major factor contributing to blind spots, perhaps even the most significant one. Large trucks have numerous blind spots, specifically in the following areas: 1. Front Blind Spot: Typically, an area about 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide from the front of the truck to behind the cab is a blind zone. 2. Right-side Blind Spot: The right-side blind spot is arguably the most dangerous among all blind spots of a large truck. 3. Left-side Blind Spot: The left-side blind spot is mainly near the rear of the truck. Additionally, the side front near the A-pillar is also a blind spot. 4. Rear Blind Spot: As expected, the entire rear area is a blind spot for large trucks.
