Big trucks and "No Zones"

[lutein]

Came across this campaign called the "No Zone". No Zones are areas around large vehicles (in this case, trucks in the US) where the drivers cannot see anything.

 

This campaign aims to educate road users to avoid these No Zones as much as possible. Other than trucks, I suspect the same No Zone concept applies to heavy vehicles we have on our roads.

 

Do watch the video as it illustrates what No Zones are very well.

very nice. and although it's the big rig trailers mentioned here.

it would also apply to us coz we do have a lot of contrainer trucks, oil tanker trucks, 40 footer lorries on the road and would be very similar blind spot zones for the drivers...

 

thanks for sharing

Hey this will explain why the truck driver in the Taiwan scooter accident where the rider got splattered, didn't stop until much later.
