Next time you encounter a truck or bus at an intersection, remember: Trucks and buses have large blind spots and need extra room to swing wide for a turn. Be ready with these tips:
Never try to squeeze by between the curb and a truck or bus with its turn signal on.
To avoid a dangerous and costly collision with a truck or bus, don’t ‘block the box’ in an intersectionby remaining past the stop-line as traffic is moving.
Remain fully behind or fully in front of a truck or bus for one lane on its left or two lanes on its right.
Don’t closely cut into a truck’s or a bus’s lane: Trucks and buses need 40% more time than a car to stop and, moving about 65 mph, require up to two football fields of distance.
