The No-Zone represents the danger areas, or blind spots, around trucks and buses where crashes are more likely to occur. Work zone crashes are more likely to happen during the day. Almost one-third of fatal crashes in work zones involved large trucks. Take your time going through work zones and give yourself plenty of room. Always leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Large trucks require more stopping distances than other vehicles.
Take advantage of your driving height, and anticipate braking situations. If you are in a crash, a seat belt can save your life and those around you. It will keep you in your seat and allow you to maintain control of your truck or bus. A major cause of truck and bus driver fatalities involves being ejected from the vehicle. Wearing seat belts, is still the single most effective thing all drivers can do to save lives and reduce injures on our roadways.
