What are some strategies for sharing the road with large vehicles?

Maintaining distance from large vehicles is a key safety strategy when sharing the road. Large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, have significant blind spots, challenging maneuverability, and longer stopping distances compared to smaller vehicles. By keeping a safe distance, you ensure that you have ample space to react to any sudden stops or changes in traffic conditions.

This distance allows for better visibility of the road ahead and helps prevent accidents, particularly in situations where the larger vehicle may need to make wide turns or adjust its speed. Additionally, it benefits you by reducing the risk of being in the blind spot of the larger vehicle, where the driver may not see you at all. This proactive approach fosters a safer driving environment for everyone on the road.
