248 ReviewsWhere Are Blind Spots Commonly Located On Semi-Trucks?
Semi-trucks have blind spots on all sides, including the front, sides, and rear. Blind spots can extend beyond the length of the trailer, making it difficult for truck drivers to detect smaller vehicles, pedestrians, or motorcyclists in these areas.
Several factors contribute to blind spots, such as the height of the cab, the size of the trailer, and the positioning of the side mirrors.
How Can These Types of Big Rig Accidents Be Avoided?
To address this issue, various technologies and systems have been developed to assist drivers in identifying objects within their blind spots. Some modern trucks are equipped with blind spot detection systems that use sensors and cameras to monitor the areas around the vehicle. These systems provide visual or audible alerts to drivers when a vehicle enters their blind spot, enhancing overall safety and reducing the risk of accidents.
