When following a large vehicle, remember that it has big blind spots where the driver cannot see you. Treat those zones as out of the driver’s view and adjust your driving accordingly. Give extra space behind the vehicle and avoid lingering in the sides or rear blind spots. Large vehicles may need more room to maneuver and can turn wider than you expect, especially on right turns, so stay back and be prepared to slow down or stop if needed. Tailgating or assuming the driver can see you isn’t safe, and rushing to pass immediately often creates a risk for everyone on the road. Wait for a clear, safe opportunity to pass only when you have ample space and good visibility ahead.
