Me learning to drive at 17. Dad says; get far enough ahead of the vehicle you want to get in front of so you can see their whole front end in your rear view mirror. This way you have created enough space to move in front of them safely. Also give five seconds between switching across multiple lanes. This give you time to ensure the spot is clear and large enough for your vehicle. Know where you are going. Get into proper lanes at least 2 miles before your exit or interchange approaches to avoid last minute multiple lanes changes. STAY OFF YOUR PHONE!

I've only been truckin' for a month on my own now and I am hitting a dangerous part of gaining truck driving experience: the part where you start to feel comfortable. I stll wait a few seconds before changing lanes even when I can clearly see it is fine. Especially around turns. I look in both mirrors and wait a few seconds, then get over. If I see someone behind me gaining on me, in the lane I am trying to get into, I stop changing lanes and return to my current lane. I'd rather flip them off or call them 10 different names and get over it in a minute than lose my job. I worked too hard and killed too many nerves to get this far and lose everything. As a truck driver you are held to a higher standard so unfortunately you have to think for everyone else on the road.

Not a big rig, but when I pulling the boat or a camper with my 2500HD and turn the blinker on to switch lanes, the camera views for that side come on the screen so I can see what is in the lane in addition to the mirror and blind spot warning. The camera turns off once the blinker is turned off. The cameras are less of a distraction than the radio and offer another level of safety. I can also see ‘through’ the camper and know what’s behind me before turning or changing lanes.

@ericbaker2514 Год назад

Blind spots are a real thing 😂

@janebrown7231 Год назад

Yes, but this wasn't a blind spot accident, it was lane drift. The trucker didn't signal to change lanes and it seems likely he didn't intend to. He drove in a straight line while the road was curving away. If it had been an intentional lane change, he would have been watching his mirrors beforehand and would have known a car was entering his blind spot (if he even had one). Invisibility only lasts for a second or two, unless a car is lurking with zero speed differential. Seems the trucker lost attention - he didn't regain attention either, immediately after the impact, he didn't brake, he didn't reduce speed noticeably, and he continued to drift.

@janebrown7231 Год назад

@J Mit You seriously think a professional driver who is planning an unforced lane change doesn't check his mirrors in advance to see what is entering his blind spot - and moves without signalling? The car was approaching quite quickly and therefore was hidden in his blind spot for only a few seconds. (If he even had a blind spot... I think I see a fender mirror). He shouldn't be on the road if he can't do better than that.

@yabadabado7442 Год назад

@Travis Williams The truck hits the car. How is the car at fault? First of all, the truck shouldn't have been in that lane. That's I-285. Trucks are supposed to use the two right lanes only, except for some parts of it, and this wasn't one of them. Secondly, the truck should have signal his lane change. Maybe the car might've noticed it and could have sped away from the truck. I drive a truck, and cars pass me all the time, on my left and on my right. Every time I want to get to the right lane, I signal and make it's safe to do so. This guy here switched lanes very recklessly. He just went over as if he were the only vehicle on the road. I'm sure this must have gone to court, and I'm sure the court found the truck driver at fault.

All tractor trailers have a blind spot: passenger side, at front fender and/or door and/or just forward of the drive wheels - it depends on the design of the cab (sloping nose, older design can, etc), placement of mirrors, driver height (to the seat, windshield, side glass), and so on.

He went to exit at 39-A and the rear of his bike started shimmying left and right and as he was entering the curve of the exit he said his bike down. I had to hit the brakes on my pickup hard and go to the right into the grass to avoid him as he slid on his front and shoulders down the exit for about 30-40 yards. Talking about road rash. Totaled his bike but he was able to get up and walk away. Very fortunate! That exit is the 2nd exit in this video. 285 is no joke and people really need to pay attention to what they are doing!

I agree. Sitting in a big rig opens your eyes to some of the stupid things car drivers do. Car drivers don't realize that what takes them to come to a stop tajes 100 ft., while a big rig takes over 1000 ft.

@growthefarmup2606 Год назад

@judieperrin7675 Exactly, I realize it would be a real pain to try to administer that. My first thought was set up tracks across the country where people could go drive or ride on a closed course and have to get the 1 hr orientation certificate to activate their license. You could drive or ride, and have the instructor just show you quickly, we all share the road, if you got it a truck brought it. I know sometimes there slower and people's time is important, teaching car and 4 wheeler drivers what it's like to navigate a big 18+ wheeler would be incredibly helpful and add to saftey. I usually err' to the side of citizens rights and not adding a bunch of bureaucratic "certifications" and more paper work and higher registration fees etc. All this would tale $$$ but it's just an idea, I think someone could launch a pilot program and get started on it anyway.
