Side No-Zones

 

Don't "hang out" on either side of trucks or buses!

Trucks and buses have big No-Zones (blind spots) on both sides. They're much larger than your car's blind spots. If you can't see the driver's face in the side-view mirror, the driver can't see you. If that driver needs to swerve or change lanes for any reason, you're in big trouble!

Animation of a car passing through a tractor trailer's side blind spot or No-Zone. The car can not be seen by the truck driver until the car moves ahead of the truck and back into the truck driver's field of vision.
