Commercial vehicles are in the spotlight in June
For drivers of passenger vehicles:
-
Stay out of blind spots! Stay far enough behind
big trucks so that you can see both side mirrors on the truck.
If you can’t see the truck driver, he can’t see you either!
-
Never cut in front of these vehicles.
-
Allow yourself extra time to pass a big rig.
-
Signal well in advance when planning to turn or change lanes.
-
If you are driving beside a truck - watch for turn signals as trucks require a wide turning radius.
For drivers of commercial vehicles:
Pull over when feeling tired - it could save your life or someone else's.
Be alert to the actions of oncoming drivers and other drivers at intersections.
Complete proper pre and post trip inspections to ensure your vehicle is not operating with defects.
Ensure your vehicle is within the allowed weight limit to prevent damage to the infrastructure.
Signal well in advance when planning to turn or change lanes.
