We all see them zipping along our Georgia roads and highways… semi-trucks. They can be intimidating to say the least. You know a collision with such a huge vehicle can be deadly. The best defense is a good offense when it comes to avoiding a truck accident. Here are a few tips that may help you stay safer on the road…
Watch carefully: If you notice the semi truck or tractor trailer near you is swerving, poorly keeping their lane or has a driver that looks glazed over, STAY AWAY. If at all possible, do not drive in front of, behind or beside that truck. Try to stay at least 3-4 cars away from it at all times.
Be aware of blind spots: Tractor-trailers have large blind spots, called "no-zones." These are positioned at the rear of the truck, the side, and the connecting point between the truck and the trailer. If you plan to pass, it is imperative that you know for sure that the driver is able to see you.
Keep a safe distance: If you are in a position that you have to drive near a semi-truck, keep as much distance as possible. Over 15 car lengths is preferable. You want plenty of space to be able to maneuver and/or stop if something unexpected happens.
