In fact, there are more that 250,000 accidents a year between passenger vehicles and semi trucks, with 70 percent of crashes being the fault of the smaller car. Make sure to keep these tips in mind when driving next to trucks to help keep the road a safer place.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Size of the rig. Since semi trucks are larger than normal cars, they have larger blind spots, need more time to maneuver, and require more time to stop.<\/li>\n<li>Passing a truck. Make sure to pass on the left side to maximize you visibility and pass at the fastest speed possible while still making sure to obey all traffic laws.<\/li>\n<li>Getting passed by a truck. Slightly reduce your speed to allow the truck to pass as easily as possible.<\/li>\n<li>When a truck is backing up. Never pass a truck that is backing up. You may enter a blind spot of the driver, increasing your risk of getting hit.<\/li>\n<li>When a truck is turning right. Many trucks have to swing left before they can make a right turn. This does not allow them to see cars directly beside them. Never try and pass a wide turning truck on the right.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid bright lights. When driving next to a truck, avoid turning on your bright lights. The large side mirrors reflect more light than passenger vehicles, which can impair the driver\u2019s vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Knowing how to safely drive next to semi tucks can help ease any worries you have while on the road.
