A truck no-zone is a truck’s blind spot – the areas around the truck where the driver’s vision is either gone or restricted. A truck driver’s vision is handicapped by the size and shape of the truck, and there are areas around the truck which cannot clearly be seen. A semi-truck has the following no-zones:
Directly in front of the cab of the truck
Behind the truck’s cab on the right side of the truck
Behind the truck’s cab on the left side of the truck
Directly behind the truck (trucks don’t have rearview mirrors)
Drivers of smaller vehicles should avoid driving in truck no-zones because they will be invisible to the truck driver and may also restrict the truck driver’s ability to stop or maneuver safely.
