That is one of the no-zones. So every driver needs to travel several car lengths behind a truck. Two, drivers need to avoid side blind spots. If you're in a car, and you can't see the truck driver's face in the side mirrors, you're driving in the truck's side no-zone. Three, it's important to pass cautiously.
Trucks take twice as long as cars to stop.
So, the rule of thumb is, when you pass a truck, don't get back into the truck's lane until you can see the whole cab of the truck in your rear view mirror. Three easy solutions. Avoid side blind stops. And pass cautiously. And they are solutions to a problem we want more American drivers to know about.
