What are No-Zones?
Almost all vehicles have blind spots due to areas where their mirrors cannot reach. However, due to an 18-wheeler’s size, its blind spots are much larger. These blind spots are called “no-zones” because regular motorists are discouraged from driving in these areas.
The no-zone areas of a commercial truck include:
- Zone directly behind the truck
- Middle left and right side of the truck that cannot be seen by mirrors
- Area right in front of the truck
While drivers are supposed to stay out of no-zones, it is ultimately the truck driver’s responsibility to check his or her blind spots in order to keep motorists safe.
