Advantages And Disadvantages Of Semi Drivers

In 60 percent of the crashes involving semis and another four-wheeled vehicle, the other driver was at fault according to information provided by the American Trucking Association. If you are often the other driver, you likely want to understand what you can do to avoid a collision with a semi.

Avoid cutting off a semi driver. When passing a semi-truck, make sure you are far enough ahead of the truck that you can at least see the semi’s headlights before you reenter the same lane as the semi-truck.
When possible, do not drive in a semi driver’s blind spots. This includes both sides as well as in front and behind the vehicle. Give the driver enough room on all sides to make yourself visible.
When passing a semi, do so as quickly and safely
