Can truck drivers prevent left-hand turn accidents?
Left-hand turns are notoriously dangerous maneuvers for any driver, but they pose an even greater risk for those operating large commercial vehicles. If things go wrong, a left-hand turn accident occurs, compromising the safety of all nearby road users. These collisions are particularly hazardous due to commercial vehicles’ sheer size and limited maneuverability. The blind spots around large trucks significantly amplify the potential for accidents during left-hand turns. These substantial no-zones make seeing smaller vehicles, especially motorcycles and bicycles, difficult. Additionally, the extended length of trucks requires more space and time to complete a turn safely, increasing the risk of collisions with oncoming traffic. It’s worth discussing whether truck drivers
