Unsafe lane changes are a big factor in truck crashes. The reason is inattentive drivers, poor training, and the large blind areas around these semi-trucks. Most company trucks are fitted with “bus mirrors.” These are convex mirrors mounted at the front of the truck and allow drivers to see down both sides of the vehicle. These mirrors are in addition to those at the doors of the semi-truck. Drivers need to locate and identify freeway interchanges, and other traffic around them. This calm awareness will prepare truck drivers when another driver does something goofy. Also, semi-truck drivers must make defensive lane changes that use the truck’s position in addition to signals to communicate what they’re doing.
Good luck on your road test.
