Which of the following statements about blind spots is true?
Correct answer
- There are large blind spots in front of, behind, and on the sides of large vehicles.
- A large vehicle has large blind spots only on the sides.
- Large trucks don't have blind spots because they are equipped with special mirrors.
Explanation
A large vehicle such as a bus or tractor-trailer has large blind spots in front, behind, and on each side, called No-Zones. A tractor-trailer can have a 20-foot No-Zone in front and a 200-foot No-Zone in the rear. It's impossible to always avoid a large vehicle's No-Zones. However, don't remain in a No-Zone any longer than absolutely necessary.
