Passenger vehicle operators - not truck drivers - trigger approximately 70 percent of all fatal crashes involving a car and commercial truck, according to federal government statistics.

Most accidents are the result of an unsafe driving act, such as following a truck as well closely or lingering in its blind spot.

The following precautions will support you safely share the road with massive trucks:

• Beware of blind spots. Around 35 percent of truck-related auto fatalities take place in a truck's blind spots. Tractor trailers have extremely huge blind spots - as much as 30 feet behind the truck. Constantly try to pass on the left side the blind spot on the proper side is significantly larger (operating the length of the truck and extending out almost three lanes).

• Stay back. When following a truck, attempt to preserve a distance of 20 to 25 automobile lengths. Driving too closely behind a truck offers you tiny or no time to react to changing circumstances.

• When passing a truck, do not loiter in the blind spot. Ahead of moving back into the truck's lane, be certain you can see its headlights in your rearview mirror. Most fully-loaded semi trucks driving at highway speeds need one hundred yards - that's 1 football field - to come to a protected cease. Leave them a lot of space.

• Spend consideration. Driver inattentiveness is the most common unsafe driving act that results in a truck-connected auto fatality.

• Heed the weather. Poor circumstances make it much more challenging to drive safely around large trucks. Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire LLC reminds you that statistics show almost 1 million car accidents a year take place in wet climate.

When it really is raining, slow down, turn on your lights, drive smoothly and keep a secure distance. If you start off to hydroplane, take your foot off the accelerator (if manual transmission, engage the clutch) and never slam on your brakes.

• Properly keep your tires. A tire can't supply very good traction on wet roads after the tread is worn beneath two/32 of an inch tread depth. Check your tires regularly and replace them at the correct time. Never neglect to preserve the correct air pressure in your tires tire pressure must be checked month-to-month.
