4 blind spots for heavy trucks.
Occasionally, traffic accidents involving heavy lorries have been reported. To avoid becoming a victim of an accident, you must be aware of the visual blind spot of heavy lorries as a car driver.
The heavy vehicle, according to JPJ, has a total of four blind spots: left and right, front and rear. For the lorry driver, a distance of four vehicles in front of the large lorry is a blind area, so if you wish to overtake, make sure you’ve driven at least four cars away before changing lanes.
On the left and right sides of the heavy vehicle, there is a large blind spot. To avoid traffic accidents caused by the lorry driver’s irresponsibility, avoid driving in the blind area on the left and right sides of the lorry.
In addition, the driver’s blind spot is around 10m behind the huge lorry. Please maintain a space of at least 3 seconds between you and the huge lorry if you are following it.
When a large Rory makes a turn, you must allow it enough space to avoid the lorry’s body rubbing against your car.
