Best way to say it is, "you don't drive the tractor, you drive your trailer." I was truck driver for 10+ years.

Trucks need more space to turn, switch to another lane and stop. By understanding that huge trucks need more space to work, and by taking a couple of additional safety measures around trucks, traveler vehicle drivers can fundamentally lessen the dangers of being implied in a serious accident.

-->Give trucks bunches of room — don't remove their turning or slowing down room.
Try not to combine too early — while passing a truck, ensure you can see the two its headlights in your back view reflect prior to converging once more into the path.

-->Be apparent around trucks — trucks have vulnerable sides that keep transporters from continuously having the option to see different vehicles around them. Limit the time you spend straightforwardly before, behind or next to enormous trucks. Dial back or push forward to avoid a truck's vulnerable sides.

-->Clear a path for trucks switching to another lane - when you see a truck motioning toward make a path change, give them room by dialing back or pushing forward.

-->Expect wide turns — watch for trucks making wide swings to turn right. Try not to drive ahead in the right path close to a turning truck.
