Wide Open Spaces: How to Share the Roads Peacefully with Trucks
Introduction
Stories about trucks causing accidents often make headlines, painting truckers as the culprits. However, truck drivers are generally responsible and prioritize road safety. They not only follow traffic rules but also deal with other drivers who may not be as careful.
Common Issues with Motorists
Truckers frequently encounter a few recurring problems with other drivers. Here are some common practices that can lead to accidents:
1. Cutting Off Trucks
When trying to overtake a truck, some drivers switch lanes and then suddenly cut back in front of the truck, often reducing speed. This is dangerous because trucks need significantly more space to slow down?"at least two to three times more than cars.
2. Blind Spots
Trucks have large blind spots where they can’t see smaller vehicles. If you hang out in these spots, truckers might not see you. It's safer to either pass the truck or stay far enough behind. A good rule of thumb: if you can see the trucker's mirrors, there's a good chance they can see you too.
3. Impatience During Maneuvers
In a world of instant gratification, waiting can be frustrating. However, when trucks need to back into a space, it may take several attempts. Recognize the size and space trucks require, and let them complete their maneuvers without pressure.
4. Playing Traffic Police
Some drivers try to "teach truckers a lesson" by passing them and then slowing down. This can cause dangerous situations. Remember, only law enforcement officers should enforce speed and traffic rules.
Conclusion
The key to sharing the road safely is common sense. Focus on your own driving and be mindful of the challenges truckers face. By doing so, we can prevent many accidents involving trucks and cars. After all, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
