Be Prepared to Yield<\/h3>\nDuring this time of year, when the roadways are always iffy and the weather is unpredictable, it sometimes would be nice to have the roads to ourselves. Of course, that\u2019s not how it works; there are still semi trucks on the road, and we need to be careful to be safe around them. But how, you ask? Here are four tips to help stay safe around semi trucks, from your friends here at EVS Auto Group.<\/p>\n
Trucks, as with all of us, tend to look ahead more than they look backward. That\u2019s why, particularly during winter weather, it\u2019s important to stay out of the spots that might be problematic. Semis actually have two different blind spots — one back and to the left of the cab, and another just over the right of the front hood. If you\u2019re preparing to pass a truck, we suggest you do so in a hurry to avoid getting caught in a blind spot.<\/p>\n
Be Prepared to Yield<\/h3>\nTrucks are obviously massive, as you are certainly aware. This is never more of a problem than on a congested highway when they are trying to change lanes, so if you see their blinkers light up, be sure to let them make the necessary merge. They\u2019ll certainly appreciate the gesture, and the added safety is good for everyone involved. We know that trucks can take up a good deal of room, and that they sometimes become a nuisance if they\u2019re entering or leaving a roadway. However, getting anxious won\u2019t do you any good. Instead, simply be patient, maintain a safe distance from the trucks in your vicinity, and enjoy the idle moments before you begin traveling again. Really, you should never cut off anyone. You know this, of course. However, cutting off a truck comes down to more than mere bad manners. If you\u2019ve cut off a truck, you\u2019re toying with the fact that trucks can take up to three times as long to slow down as your conventional vehicle. So, if you cut off a truck and need to stop immediately, they may have trouble slowing down in time. Basically, don\u2019t toy with this possibility. During this time of year, when the roadways are always iffy and the weather is unpredictable, it sometimes would be nice to have the roads to ourselves. Of course, that\u2019s not how it works; there are still semi trucks on the road, and we need to be careful to be safe around them.
