What blind spots on tractor-trailer trucks should I avoid driving in?

A:

All of them. On regular 18-wheeler trucks, the blind spots run along each side of the trailer, as well as directly behind and in front of the vehicle. These spots, also called 'no zones,' are invisible to the driver.

When truck drivers cannot see you, you are in danger. They may veer into your lane, stop short, or take a wide turn in front of you. All of these can lead to serious Houston truck accidents as well as severe injuries.

While you can minimize your chances of being in a wreck by avoiding a truck driver's blind spots, it is still ultimately their responsibility to drive safely. If they neglect this obligation, they deserve to be held accountable. A Houston truck accident attorney can help you do just that if you or a loved one has been injured in a crash.
