What is a “no zone” as it pertains to trucks?

A “no zone” refers specifically to the blind spots immediately beside or behind large trucks, where the truck driver is unable to see other vehicles. This concept is crucial for road safety, as these blind spots increase the risk of accidents if other motorists are unaware of their position relative to the truck. The no zones are often larger than those around standard vehicles due to the size and design of trucks, which obstruct the driver’s view. Understanding the no zones helps drivers to position their vehicles safely, avoiding these areas while driving alongside or behind a truck. It is essential for preventing collisions during lane changes, turns, or merging maneuvers.
